Auburn Tigers offensive tackle Greg Robinson has decided to forgo his final two seasons of eligibility and declare for the 2014 NFL Draft.

Robinson has been touted as a possible first-round selection in the Draft, with experts putting him as high as the ninth overall pick in early projections.

The left tackle was a key part of Auburn's offence this season, helping his side average an FBS-leading 328.3 rushing yards per game.

"This was a tough decision but I have decided to declare for the NFL Draft," Robinson revealed on Twitter.

"I am so thankful for @CoachGusMalzahn @CoachJBGrimes and @rhettlashlee for everything they have done leading us to a memorable season. I want to thank my teammates and I love them all. Also thank you Auburn Family the best fans in college football."

The 21-year-old helped his side become runners-up in the BCS National Championship this season, losing 34-31 to Florida State in the final on Monday.
