WATCH: Payton Thorne, Robby Ashford throw at Auburn's fall camp
Auburn begins camp with a three-man quarterback race between Robby Ashford, transfer Payton Thorne and Holden Geriner.
Thorne has been the projected starter ever since he committed to the Tigers earlier this year, but Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze has been adamant that this is a legitimate competition that will be trimmed down in a week or so.
Still, Freeze has been impressed with how Thorne has acted off the field.
"It's impossible for you not to visit with Payton, because he demands it," Freeze said. "I feel very comfortable with who he is, and his preparation... I'm excited about the competition with him and Robby (Ashford) and Holden (Geriner)."
All three threw during the media viewing window on Thursday morning. Here's a look at the trio throwing back and forth to each other during practice.
