Former Auburn defensive lineman Justin Rogers accepts invite to NFL Combine.
Former Auburn defensive lineman Justin Rogers will be finding himself at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium from Feb. 27 to March 4 as he has accepted his invitation to the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, the program announced in a social media post Wednesday morning.
With Rogers heading to the NFL Combine, which is an invite-only event that allows NFL scouts to evaluate some of the top draft-eligible players, Auburn is now set to have at least four representatives in Indianapolis. Rogers will be joining the Tigers’ trio of defensive backs there as Jaylin Simpson, Nehemiah Pritchett and D.J. James have all accepted their invitations to the Combine.
Rogers’ invitation comes following his first and only season on The Plains, where he appeared in all 13 games, tallied 17 total tackles, two tackles for a loss and a sack. The most-productive outing of Rogers’ 2023 campaign came during his start against Ole Miss as he logged four total tackles, a tackle for a loss and a sack.
Following his performance against Ole Miss on Oct. 21, Rogers solidified himself as a starter along Auburn’s defensive front.
Before coming to Auburn for his junior season, Rogers played three seasons at Kentucky, where he appeared in 33 games, made 60 tackles and recorded five tackles for a loss.
