For the second time in as many days, Gus Malzahn has lost a productive underclassman to the NFL.
Tuesday, running back Kerryon Johnson used his personal Twitter account to announce his decision to leave Auburn early for the NFL. A day later, cornerback Carlton Davis did the same.

Davis missed most of the last two games of what was his final season on The Plains. The defensive back suffered a concussion in the SEC championship game loss to Georgia, then didn’t play in the Peach Bowl because of what was described only as an unspecified illness.
When he was on the field, he played well enough to earn first-team All-SEC honors. He was also listed as a second-team All-American by various media outlets.
