In this week’s episode of the Yellowhammer Sports Podcast, host CJ Duncan welcomes special guest Kerryon Johnson, a former Auburn Tigers all-star, NFL running back, now a football coach for the University of North Alabama Lions, and all-around great guy.
Kerryon shares stories from his impressive playing career, taking it all the way back to his days as a high school football legend in Alabama, his time at Auburn where he made his household name, and his transition to the NFL.
CJ and Kerryon dive into what it takes to succeed in the SEC, the mental and physical challenges that come with being a top-level athlete, and the unique pressures of competing in high-profile matchups like the Iron Bowl.
Kerryon also talks about his role in shaping the next generation of athletes at North Alabama and what he thinks the current Auburn team needs to regain its footing under Coach Hugh Freeze.
