AUBURN, Ala. – While watching Auburn’s 26-14 win over Alabama in the Iron Bowl this past season, NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah heaped plenty of praise on Kerryon Johnson. He even tweeted out that the Auburn running back is a "first-round talent."

I love me some Kerryon Johnson. So patient and instinctive.

In his scouting report after that game, Jeremiah compared Johnson to Le’Veon Bell and said he was one of the four best running backs he had seen this fall.
