Gem of the Class

Carl Lawson, DE. He automatically gives Dee Ford a partner in crime to terrorize quarterbacks in 2013, which is perhaps the most essential asset of any SEC defense.

Surprise

Prying DT Montravius Adams away from Alabama and Georgia, and DE Elijah Daniel from Ole Miss? Take a bow, Rodney Garner. Auburn’s associate head coach and top “ team player” (his words, not ours) will be rewarded by having all kinds of mongrels to unleash on the defensive line.
