Auburn edge rusher TD Moultry makes decision on future

Auburn defensive end and outside linebacker TD Moultry announced Sunday night on Instagram that he will enter the 2022 NFL Draft, via Jake Weese of the Opelika-Auburn News. The fifth-year senior will not use his addition year of eligibility granted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 39 career games, TD Moultry finished his Auburn career with 70 tackles, including 13.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks. In his final season, he recorded a career-high 33 tackles with 7.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks.

The Birmingham, Alabama native became an early-season revelation for Bryan Harsin’s first-year staff, breaking out in his first season as a starter. Ahead of the season, Moultry warned the public of his progression on social media.

“If anybody think I’m the same old T.D., you blind or you don’t wanna see it,” Moultry posted on Twitter. “I don’t have much to say but watch this work.”

TD Moultry releases statement

Along with the announcement, TD Moultry released the following statement on his 2022 NFL Draft entry.

“First and foremost, I have to thank God for blessing me with the talents to play football. Without him I wouldn’t be where I am today.

“Secondly, I would like to thank coach T-Will for believing and taking a chance on a kid from Birmingham, AL. A special thanks to coach Harsin and coach Watts for continuing to believe in me and pushing me to be the best that I could be. To my brothers, my teammates, you guys have made my last four years in Auburn some of the best years of my life. We have experienced the highs and the lows together and I’ll never forget the memories and bonds that I have created with each of you.

“To the Auburn family, what can I say? We have the best fans in the nation and it showed on game days. Nothing felt better than going out on that field and hearing 90 thousand fans cheering for you when you made a tackle or sacked a few quarterbacks.

“With that being said, it has been a dream of mine to play in the NFL and I have decided to declare for the 2022 NFL Draft.

“War Eagle!”
