Or is he the next big news story like Jeremy Johnson, a player who looked like a star in his limited opportunities as a backup only to wilt under the bright lights?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not fair to expect anybody to be Cam Newton. But is the Jeremy Johnson comparison any more reasonable?<\/p>\n<p>The hype for Johnson came after a sophomore season in which he looked impressive, passing for 436 yards with three touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Stidham also passed for 419 yards and three touchdowns &#8212; in his first career start as a freshman at Baylor.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that he suffered injuries to his back, hand and ankle in his only season of college football. For better or worse, the ultra-talented Stidham is the next big thing at Auburn.<\/p>\n<p>For Threaded Fasteners, I&#8217;m Randy Kennedy with Nuts and Bolts of the Game.<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-339640-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/NutsBolts053017.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/NutsBolts053017.mp3\">http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/NutsBolts053017.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Athletics Director Jay Jacobs confirmed that last Thursday night when he said he was &#8220;excited about a new quarterback,&#8221; then went on to refer returning <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/jarrett-stidham-is-the-next-big-thing-for-auburn-football\/\" title=\"Jarrett Stidham is the next big thing for Auburn football\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":4489,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[145,161,106],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-339640","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-auburn","7":"category-nuts-and-bolts","8":"category-on-the-air"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4489"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339640"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339640\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":339643,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339640\/revisions\/339643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
