MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The 2018 NFL draft wrapped up less than a week ago, and they’re already talking about next year’s draft. It could be a significant weekend for Auburn, especially given the three draft-eligible players on the defensive line. But there’s also been some first-round buzz surrounding quarterback Jarrett Stidham this week, too.

So how will Stidham handle the hype as he enters his junior season?

“Jarrett’s a very focused young man,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said, speaking before an AMBUSH event in Montgomery on Wednesday.
