AL.com All-Access: Will Kerryon Johnson, Calvin Ridley and other underclassmen turn pro?

Nick Saban, Gus Malzahn and the rest of the millionaire coaches club must pay plenty of attention to recruiting right now, but it's not all focused on high school prospects.

There's also the notion of current players deciding whether to jump early to the NFL.

The top candidate, of course, is Auburn running back Kerryon Johnson.

Auburn's workhorse back emerged as a Heisman Trophy candidate, despite missing two early games with hamstring injury, and ran for 1,320 yards and 17 touchdowns. He averaged an SEC-best 120 yards rushing per game, but is now battling rib and shoulder injuries sustained in the Iron Bowl.
