Auburn has had plenty of star players on the offensive side of the ball throughout their history but what would a team of the best of the best look like?

Among current FBS teams, Auburn is 13th all-time in wins and have a very respectable record of 776-445-47 record throughout their first-ever season in 1892. In their history, they’ve brought home two national championships and12 conference championships.

You don’t have the level of success without having plenty of great players. After all, Auburn has had three Heisman Trophy winners, 31 consensus All-Americans and 285 NFL draft picks in their history.

But what if all of Auburn’s all-time great players came together to form one team? What would that look like? How would they stack up against all-time teams of other schools? Well, that’s exactly what I’ll be examining in this article starting with the offensive side of the ball

Before I start, I want to preface this by saying all selections in this article will solely be based on my personal opinion and I’m bound to leave off a few players who absolutely could be on this team.

Note: The offense will include kicker and kick returner while the defense will include punter and punt returner.
