About Wooden Updated Jun 20, 2026

Auburn DE with Elite Speed, NFL Draft Pedigree, and Unmatched Defensive Intensity

Colby Wooden is a standout Auburn Tigers defensive end whose 4.79-second 40-yard dash speed and 17 career sacks at Auburn make him a rare blend of power and agility. Selected in the 4th round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers, he brings proven SEC dominance, including 61 tackles and 4 sacks in 13 games, and was named to the Preseason All-SEC 3rd team as a sophomore. Beyond stats, Wooden’s differentiator is his relentless intensity and leadership—he’s a third-year starter with 152 career tackles and 30 tackles for loss, showing he thrives under pressure. His resilience is notable: he overcame cancer that caused him to miss the 2024 season, proving his mental toughness. For any team, Wooden is a high-fit defensive asset who combines elite speed, NFL readiness, and a warrior’s mindset, making him ideal for aggressive defensive schemes.
