AUBURN, Ala. – When you have the SEC’s leading rusher, it can be easy to forget about the wide receiver group. But as good as Kerryon Johnson was this season, it’s hard to ignore the jump that Auburn’s wide receivers made from last year to this year.
Last year, Tony Stevens led the Tigers with 31 receptions and three touchdowns. He was the only player on the team to catch more than two touchdowns.
This year, Ryan Davis matched his reception total by the first Saturday in October on his way to setting Auburn’s single-season record with 76 receptions, and he was one of four players who caught three or more touchdowns on this year’s team.
