Donovan Kaufman is one of the highest graded returning safeties in the SEC
Donovan Kaufman was graded as one of the top ten returning safeties in college football on PFF.
Let's take a look at the top ten list.
1. Wesley Walker Tennessee 77.5
2. Hudson Clark Arkansas 77.0
3. Zion Childress Kentucky 76.5
4. Al Walcott Arkansas 75.4
5. CJ Taylor Vanderbilt 74.6
6. Daylan Carnell Missouri 73.9
7. Alex Afari Kentucky 73.8
8. Greg Brooks Jr. LSU 73.0
9. Jaylen Key Alabama 72.9
10. Donovan Kaufman Auburn 72.1
My biggest takeaway is that Kaufman might not even be first up at safety, and he is still on this list.
The point here is the Tigers have a ton of depth in the defensive backfield.
Players like Kaufman are the reason Auburn has one of the best defensive backfields in college football.
That reason is he might not be on the field a ton but would start at a ton of power five schools.
This proves Auburn has a deep defensive backroom that will make it tough to throw the ball against this Tigers defense.
