Auburn is more known for their running backs but they have also had some impressive receivers.

The first to come to mind is Terry Beasley who was part of an unstoppable connection with Pat Sullivan. Beasley’s records will be tough for anyone to break but Tyrone Goodsonand Karsten Bailey came close back in the 1990’s.

Seth Williams has been Auburn’s best recent receiver before he left for the NFL. Other notable receivers this millennium include Emory Blake, Darvin Adams, and Courtney Taylor.

While none of Auburn’s current receivers are likely to wind up on this list, the Tigers have some talented but unproven targets who are looking to breakout during the 2022 season. Here is a look at the 10 leading receivers in Auburn history.
