    Over the years, the Auburn Tigers have had some very talented quarterbacks on the roster. 

    Not only did they have talent, but there are many Auburn quarterbacks of old that played the position in various diverse ways. There's Cam Newton, a freak athlete who could run or throw the football. Or Nick Marshall, who could run the option better than any quarterback in recent memory. Then you have Jarrett Stidham, a pro-style quarterback with pinpoint accuracy. All three of these guys played the quarterback position differently, but they all succeeded playing for Auburn. 

    Different circumstances have led to some tremendous Auburn quarterbacks not making this list. Like in Newton's case, he did not crack the top ten list because he only played quarterback for the Tigers for one year. All be it a very successful year as he led Auburn to a National Championship. 

    Read on to see which former Auburn quarterbacks are in the top ten all-time passing yards list.

    It will be interesting to see who the next Auburn quarterback will be to crack the top ten all-time list. Perhaps it could be class of 2024 quarterback commit Walker White or Hank "Baby Goat" Brown. 

    With Hugh Freeze coaching the Tigers, I feel his quarterbacks will fill this list sooner than later.
