    Lombardi Award winner Nick Fairley is skipping his senior season at Auburn to enter the NFL draft.

    The potential No. 1 overall pick announced his decision Friday at his old high school, saying he didn't make up his mind until that morning.

    "I was thinking, 'What more could I accomplish my senior year?' " Fairley said.

    He and Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Cam Newton -- who is also turning pro -- led the Tigers to a 14-0 season and their first national title since 1957.

    Fairley was the defensive MVP in the BCS National Championship Game against Oregon when he had a sack, three tackles for losses and forced a fumble. He also led the Southeastern Conference with 24 tackles for a loss and had a school-record 11½ sacks.
