Auburn in the NFL: Week 4 recapAuburn in the NFL: Week 4 recap

The Cleveland Browns had three different former Auburn players make our list this week, including two with interceptions. That and more in this week's Auburn in the NFL recap. 

BEST OF WEEK 4

Carlton Davis, CB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Davis has been putting on a show through four weeks. He's faced 34 targets and allowed just 14 of them to be completed. The second-year cornerback had seven tackles, including two tackles for loss in the Buccaneers' 55-40 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. He now has 21 tackles on the season, tied for fifth-most among cornerbacks.

Kerryon Johnson, RB, Detroit Lions
Johnson is starting to establish himself as one of the premier three-down backs in the NFL. On Sunday, the second-year player notched the third 100-yard rushing game of his career with 125 yards on 26 carries against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also added two catches for 32 yards. Through four games, Johnson ranks fourth among running back with 74 total carries. 

Devaroe Lawrence, DL, Cleveland Browns
Who says defensive linemen can't catch? Lawrence capped a career day Sunday with his first interception late in the fourth quarter to seal the Browns' 40-25 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The errant throw from Lamar Jackson was caused from a hit by teammate and former Auburn player Jermaine Whitehead (see below). Lawrence, who saw 31 snaps, also had one tackle for loss and a pass deflection.

Greg Robinson, OL, Cleveland Browns 
Robinson started at left tackle and was instrumental in both the running and passing game Sunday as the Browns scored 40 points to beat the Baltimore Ravens. The former No. 2 pick overall helped pave the way for Nick Chubbb, who ran for 165 yards and three touchdowns, and helped protect Baker Mayfield, who threw for 342 yards and a touchdown. Per PFF, Robinson ranks No. 24 among offensive tackles through four weeks. 

Jermaine Whitehead, S, Cleveland Browns
Not only did Whitehead assist in Lawrence's interception (above), he also recorded his first career NFL interception in Sunday's 40-25 win over the Ravens. The interception came in the fourth quarter and ended Lamar Jackson's streak of pass attempts without an interception, the longest active streak in the NFL at the time. Whitehead finished with a career-high eight tackles and forced a fumble.
