WarEagle1982 417 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 These 5 have my vote (not sure what order I would put them in though): Philip Lutzenkirchen Walter Reeves Fred Baxter Andy Fuller Ed West I believe Baxter and West were the two with the longest NFL longevity.

augolf1716 21,058 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Ed West by far as the total package...receiving and blocking not really that close imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle1982 417 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Andy Fuller was pretty good in both categories as well. He had some huge catches in the passing game (94 Florida game and 95 Bama game). I guess I probably know more about him though because I was rather young when West was playing. Most of my knowledge of him was from his NFL playing days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oracle79 3,569 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Talent wise and size wise, Robert Johnson would be hard to beat. If he had stayed his senior year, could have had a great career here overall. Not sure why he went early to NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a picture with him as a kid back at fan day. My memory though is that he'd make a big catch, run 15-20 yards then fumble , and that it happened more often than it should have lol I can't remember how far you'd have to scroll through twitter but Brandon Cox had some pretty funny interactions about their playing days with Bennett and Trott on twitter (in the last year I believe). Really showed the special relationship between a QB and TE. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordoAU 87 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Lutz and Trott are the best I've seen at Auburn but to be fair I am only 24 and have only been an Auburn fan since 2003 when my brother went to Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of potential, highly recruited, but never lived up to the hype. Wasnt a bad player, but nowhere near what he was supposed to be either.
