DB Quindarious “Smoke” Monday – Auburn (26 y/o, 6’2, 285 lbs)

Smoke Monday played for Auburn from 2018 to 2021 playing in 50 games with 24 starts. He started in 22 games out of 24 over his last 2 seasons at safety. He contributed 105 solo tackles, 66 assisted tackles, 17 tackles for a loss, 13 passes defended, 6 sacks, 5 interceptions, 3 touchdowns, and a forced fumble with Auburn.

Monday was All-SEC Second Team by the Associated Press in 2020. He was named Second Team All-SEC in 2021 by SEC Coaches, Athlon, Phil Steele, and SEC Media.

Monday signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2022. He suffered a torn ACL in early August in preparation for the season which led to him missing the season. He was released by the Saints in 2023 during final roster cuts.
