    Wide receiver is not a position within the Auburn Football program that has been as notorious as others like running back and quarterback. Nevertheless, there are some outstanding wide receivers on this list that have led Auburn to become a very well-respected program in the college football community.

This could be why Auburn has not had many receivers in their program recently on the all-time top ten receiving yard list. 

    Continue reading to see which former Auburn Tiger receivers are a part of the all-time program receiving yard list.
