0:00.0 | This is the Auburn podcast, or daily Auburn Tigers podcast, brought you by ESPN 1067. |
0:11.5 | Online every day at ESPNAU.com. |
0:14.1 | I'm your host, Zach Blackerby on Twitter at Z Blackerby. |
0:18.2 | And today in studio, I am joined by Christian Page of Optimum Scouting. |
0:24.1 | Christian, welcome on in. It's been a while, bud. How are you? It's been a while since we've been in the |
0:28.2 | studio, but it's a great time to be together. Yes, yes, it is as the draft is two weeks away. |
0:34.6 | And yeah, yeah, if you can't tell by him being with optimum scouting and just the title |
0:39.5 | of today's podcast, we're going to talk about the Auburn guys from a scouting perspective. |
0:44.8 | And Christian, last time I had a scout on, it was before the combine to kind of preview |
0:51.5 | what Auburn guys could have done in Indianapolis. And so let's talk |
0:56.0 | about how guys are trending right now. And let's start with the guy that I think we're seeing the |
1:00.5 | most of, Carryon Johnson. You know, a lot of different opinions all over the place as to where |

1:12.1 | So your thoughts on carry on? I think one of the biggest things with carry on, at least going |
1:16.8 | into the 2017 season, was one, being a full-time starter, and two, playing a full season, because |
1:23.2 | health has kind of been something that's always been described with carry-on, whether it's |
1:27.3 | an ankle injury, wherever it may be. So it was good to see him, though it wasn't 100% healthy season, |
1:33.3 | but it was good to see him play the full season for Auburn and really carry the load. |
1:37.5 | And, you know, just in the off season or in the draft season, I think he performed well at the |
1:42.1 | pro day. I was there in person. I thought he caught the ball really well, which is a very, I guess, attractive trait in the running backs now being more of a past catching type league for running backs. |
1:52.5 | So being, you know, maybe showing a little bit of that third down capability and being on the field for all three downs. |
1:58.0 | You know, and you ran a four, five, 45440, which was kind of surprising to me. |
