Cam Newton set the bar high for Auburn football when it comes to quarterback production. We rank the starting quarterbacks since he led the Tigers to the national title in 2010 while winning the Heisman Trophy.

It’s unfair to judge Auburn quarterbacks against Cam Newton’s ridiculous 2010 season.

  • 185 of 280 passing for 2,854 yards, 30 TDs and seven interceptions.
  • 264 carries for 1,473 rushing yards and 20 TDs.
  • He also caught two passes with one going for a score.

All that and a comeback for the ages in the Iron Bowl, an SEC Championship, a Heisman Trophy and a BCS national title.

So that’s where we start when it comes to ranking Auburn quarterbacks: the post-Cam Newton era. No since in making it this decade because everyone knows who’s No. 1.
