AUBURN, Ala. – The NFL draft is less than a month away, and expectations are high as Auburn could have a record number of players drafted.

On Wednesday, ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. discussed some of the former Tigers in the draft and where they could be selected during a conference call. Though no Auburn player was named in his latest first-round mock draft, he still believes there could be a handful of players taken on Day 2, in rounds two or three.

“I think Kerryon Johnson could be a second- or third-round pick at running back,” Kiper said.
