Finally healthy, Auburn's Carl Lawson is ready to dominate...

Lawson is unfazed. He’s heard the accolades since the day he arrived on campus as one of the most coveted prospects in the country, but the fact remains that he’s only played in 21 games in three seasons because of injuries.

"It’s a hard game. We all know that, the survival of the fittest,” Lawson said. “So when you have things in the game that go against you, you don’t let them beat you. Nobody cares about what you were supposed to be or what you’ve had happen to you. This game’s about results and overcoming adversity.

Of course, it’s been hard, real hard. All good players go through adversity. Nothing happens overnight for anybody. Everybody goes through adversity. It’s about how you handle it. You just keep trying to get bigger, stronger and faster and know you’re going to be back out there 100 percent.

“If anything, it’s toughened me up to be a better man, not just in football, but in life.”
