Share HOOVER -- Auburn coach Gene Chizik has talked several times about the big bucks senior offensive tackle Lee Ziemba could be making in the NFL this season.
Ziemba opted to return for his final year of eligibility.
"He had a chance to come out and be a high draft pick this past year, but he loves Auburn," Chizik said. "He made the choice to stay at Auburn...He's as happy as he's ever been."

For his part, Ziemba has declined to talk about the NFL evaluation process or reveal in what round he was projected to be drafted.
"It doesn't matter anymore," he said. "I'm here."
Ziemba was one of three Auburn players toting a mini video camera Friday. When he sat down in front of a group of reporters, he set down the camera on the table to get a wide-angle shot.
"They told me they were going to use it for marketing or something," he said with a shrug. "This is a big deal. I want to remember it."
