Auburn's Dillon Wade signs with Packers as undrafted free agent

The 2026 NFL Draft may be in the rearview mirror, but players from the Auburn Tigers are still getting opportunities to continue their football careers. Players who were not drafted are now being picked up as undrafted free agents. One of the first Tigers to get signed is offensive lineman Dillon Wade. On Sunday, he was signed by the Green Bay Packers.

Wade started his college football career playing two years at Tulsa before transferring to Auburn. While at Tulsa, he played in 16 games for the Golden Hurricane. During his three seasons with the Tigers, he was a starter for most of the games Auburn competed in. He started in all 12 games for the Tigers during the 2025 season and had a start streak of 34 games. The only game he missed during his first season in 2023 was against the California Golden Bears. He had one of his best games of the season against Texas A&M with a grade of 92%. He started his career at Auburn at left tackle but was moved to left guard for the 2024 season.

The offensive line was an area of need for the Packers going into the draft season. They selected Kentucky center Jager Burton in the fifth round to add to the protection for quarterback Jordan Love. Auburn had two offensive linemen in Connor Lew and Jeremiah Wright, drafted on day three on Saturday.
