AUBURN, Ala. – Pro day can be bittersweet for schools. On one hand, it’s a way to showcase your former athletes as they prepare for the draft and to one day play in the NFL. But on the other, it’s a reminder of who won’t be back for the next season.
For Auburn, Friday’s pro day featured Kerryon Johnson and Kamryn Pettway, the last two players to eclipse 1,000 yards rushing in a season for the Tigers. Pettway rushed for 1,224 yards in 2016 while Johnson, the SEC offensive player of the year, rushed for 1,391 yards and 18 touchdowns this past season.
