It wasn't even top 25 in terms of actually winning us a trophy, but Kodi Burns throwing a dime to Cam Newton on the corner fade for a touchdown... I mean, it even had Hollywood lighting. Look at the sparkle on Kodi's helmet from the end zone camera view! One last detail... that might have been the most fun, laid back regular season SEC game all year. We didn't spend much time breathing during league play in 2010. Not until the SECCG... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Interesting take on the Caylin Newton pick-up. I don't agree with it but he is quite high on Caylin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is gonna start out at AU as a QB, he is going to only get mop up practice or possibly get into a position to backup Nix. No way as a QB is he going to advance to the NFL. As E says, his only chance is to show he can learn a new position, contribute and find a way onto an NFL team. Similar to what Marshall realized he needed to do to play professionally (DB after college). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Regardless of the position he plays, the dude is obviously hoping to contribute as a player. He's already got his degree. If he only wanted to learn how to coach, then he could probably just come here as a GA or intern. (Are they the same?) Anyway, nothing about him wanting to play ball here for a year precludes him also using this as a stepping stone closer towards a coaching career. I could even see where a year as a player in a power program- in addition to his stellar career at an HBCU- would look good on a coaching resume. Never mind the vastly larger network he's plugging into. Seems like an everybody wins scenario worth celebrating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread is only three pages long. It’s a fairly short read to catch up. Yes he’s probably coming in to help jumpstart his coaching career but in doing that as an undergraduate player he still would have a position he plays.

toddc 13,194 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 What Auburn fan in his right mind wouldn’t want to see Cam Newton’s little brother come in and become a qb at AU? It’s not happening and a quick perusal of his college numbers to date will show why. He is a really good athlete though and I think he could claim a spot on the roster as a receiver, which would be a great fairytale type story in its own right!

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,639 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I agree with the majority of that video, but I don't know about his analysis of Caylin's value. Unless he watched most of those games, which is possible with his HBCU ties, just using a statistical reference isn't enough here. But I really agree with the Howell and Daniels were definitely better than Bo sentiment, Howell in 2021-22 with the talent they have coming in is going to be something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not on the Bo Nix hype train but it sure seems like this guy is forgetting Bo was a true freshman last year and played against stellar talent. There is definitely room for improvement but it sure seems like he is giving much of a less benefit of a doubt to Bo and an higher leash to Caylin, especially with that Justin Fields waiting in the wings comparison. IMO, that is a leap of speculation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,545 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Unless there has been a major announcement that I'm not aware of, Caylin Newton is trying out for a wide receiver spot at AU.

Why did that guy even bother with an article speculating about him at QB? Caylin Newton is a transfer from Howard and the younger brother of Auburn icon Cam Newton. Newton wants and will get his chance to play quarterback, but he also could end up at wide receiver. This was in an article today and I don’t think it’s out of bounds from VIP because it’s common knowledge Edited July 24, 2020 by toddc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardin Drake 1,805 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Gus has always liked having a wildcat QB. We have other candidates, but I would expect Caylin to get a shot at that. If he does well at it, who knows? It would be nice to have a wildcat QB where throwing was a real option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
