As we celebrate SportsCall’s 25th anniversary, we’re taking a look back at the 25 greatest Auburn athletes since 1995!

Coming in at #1 is Cam Newton:

  • Cameron Newton quickly threw himself into the discussion of best college football player in his one and only season as Auburn’s starting quarterback. After transferring from Blinn College, Newton became the starting quarterback and never looked back
  • Totaling 51 touchdowns in a single season, Newton nearly single-handedly led the Tigers offense to a perfect 14-0 record, an SEC Championship, Auburn’s first national championship since 1957, and became the third Heisman Trophy winner in program history
  • After the magical 2010 season, Newton declared for the 2011 NFL Draft and was selected first overall by the Carolina Panthers. During his time in Carolina, Newton won the 2015 NFL MVP while leading the Panthers to Super Bowl 50. Newton signed with the New England Patriots in 2020 and is expected to again be their starting quarterback in 2021
