Top 10 Auburn players of all time


10. Ronnie Brown - RB - LA Chargers
As the #2 pick in the NFL Draft in 2005, Brown never quite lived up to the hype that he did on the lains. But he was a speedster at Auburn and he's just another reason Auburn is RB University. 

9. Kevin Greene - LB - Pittsburgh Steelers 
Kevin Greene was a very talented player who is ranked 3rd in most sacks with 160. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016. He wasn't great at Auburn but kicked it up quite a few notches in the NFL. 


8. Tucker Frederickson - HB - NY Giants
Tucker heard his name called with the #1 pick in the 1965. He was a very skilled blocker and won several awards with the Tigers. He is one of the all time greats in Auburn.


7. Carlos Rogers - DB - Oakland Raiders
Rogers earned several awards in College and helped Auburn to an undefeated season in 2004. He was drafted 9th overall in 2005. He had a nice first few seasons but then slowed down and decided his football career was done. But Rogers did make it to the Pro Bowl in 2011. 

6. Tracy Rocker - DT - Washington Redskins
Rocker was a true monster with Auburn as he won the Lombardi award and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2004. He only played in the NFL for two years and in 1992, began to coach. He has coached one HS team, 8 college teams, and one NFL Team as a D-Line coach. (No Video Available)

5. Carnell "Cadillac" Williams - RB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Just about every Auburn fan has heard of Cadillac as he was one of the most unstoppable players in AU history. He was drafted #5 overall in the 2005 NFL Draft and served to be a dangerous RB with TB. And now, he coaches the RBs here at Auburn. Coach Caddy is the real Auburn man. 

4. Terry Beasley - WR/TE - SF 49ers
Another first round pick from the Tigers as Beasley was the #19 pick in 1972. He only played for 3 years but was pretty successful during that time. Continue to pray for Mr. Beasley as he is currently in bad condition. (No Video Available)

3. Pat Sullivan - QB - Atlanta Falcons
Patrick Sullivan is one of the most known Auburn players ever. He won the Heisman in 1971 and played six seasons in the NFL. Sullivan began his coaching career later in his life. Not only was Sullivan a great athlete at Auburn but he was also very smart. 

2. Cam Newton - QB - Carolina Panthers

Superman Cam! Everyone knows the name. Cam Newton won a Heisman Trophy in 2010, a National Title in 2010, a National Championship Offensive MVP, a Super Bowl appearance in 2015, and an MVP award in 2015. Oh yeah, and he was the 1st overall pick by the Panthers. Also, today, May 11th is Cam's 30th Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAM!!!!!!!







1. Bo Jackson - RB -Oakland Raiders

Not one sole in Auburn University doesn't know the name Bo Jackson. Bo won the Heisman Trophy in 1985. He was a monster in both college and the NFL and he's the best Auburn football player ever. He's the reason Auburn's known as RB University.

Nick Marshall - QB/CB

Takeo Spikes - LB

Jason Campbell - QB

Tre Mason - RB

Joe Cribbs - RB

Aundray Bruce - TE/LB
