Auburn has laid claim to a number of star quarterbacks throughout its illustrious history, but who among them was the best of the best?

Check out our top 5 Auburn quarterbacks of all-time below:

5. Nick Marshall (2013-14): Of course, the last spot on any list with this many worthy candidates inspires the most debate, but ultimately Marshall deserves to be recognized for his success as the leader of Gus Malzahn’s offense during Malzahn’s first two years on the plains. Many considered Marshall to be just an athlete who played quarterback, however, he developed into an above-average passer with great arm strength and zip on this throws by the end of his career. Some don’t realize that Marshall ranks 10th in school history in attempts and completions, eighth in yards and sixth in passing touchdowns, all while throwing fewer picks than Pat Sullivan, Dameyune Craig and Jason Campbell (three names you’re about to see on this list). He’s also Auburn’s second-best all-time rusher among quarterbacks, trailing only Phil Gargis, who out rushed Marshall by 13 yards but amassed six fewer touchdowns on the ground for his career. And, most importantly, Marshall led Auburn to its most recent SEC championship and national title berth, experiencing as much success as any other player mentioned below.

4. Dameyune Craig (1994-97): Craig now serves as Auburn’s receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator, assuming that role when Gus Malzahn took over as head coach in 2013. However, before he coached the Tigers Craig was one of the their great all-time quarterbacks, leading Auburn to an 18-7 record in two seasons as the team’s starter in 1996-97. In that time he led Auburn to a 2-0 record in bowl games and the 1997 SEC West crown, which earned Auburn a trip to the ’97 SEC championship game, which Craig and the Tigers lost to Peyton Manning and the Tennessee Volunteers by one point. Craig still ranks fifth in school history in completions, attempts, yards and touchdowns, and his 216 completions and 3,277 yards in 1997 remain single-season Auburn records.

3. Jason Campbell (2001-04): Before Cam Newton achieved the feat in 2010, Jason Campbell led Auburn through its last undefeated season as the team’s starter in 2004, when the Tigers finished the year 13-0 but were left out of the BCS title game behind two other unbeaten teams (USC and Oklahoma). Campbell completed better than 69 percent of his passes for 2,700 yards and 20 touchdowns against only seven picks as a senior in 2004, and when his career was all said and done he ranked second in school history in completions, yards and touchdowns through the air.

2. Pat Sullivan (1969-71): Sullivan was Auburn’s first-ever Heisman winner when he earned the honor after the 1971 season, a season in which he threw for 2,200 yards and 21 touchdowns. He remains Auburn’s all-time leader in passing touchdowns with 54 despite leaving the college game nearly 45 years ago, and he still ranks in the top 5 in school history in yards, completions and attempts. He’s since been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, and he remains one of the most beloved players in school history.

1. Cam Newton (2010): Newton’s career at Auburn lasted only one year after he first enrolled at Florida then took a detour to junior college. Nevertheless, that one season was the best by any Auburn quarterback in school history and the best by any SEC quarterback other than Tim Tebow since the turn of the century. He completed 66 percent of his throws and amassed more than 2,800 yards through the air and 30 touchdowns against only seven picks. He also ran for more than 1,400 yards and 20 touchdowns, combining his overwhelming size and unexpected speed and elusiveness to gash defenses with his legs and his arms alike. Most importantly, he led Auburn to a perfect 14-0 record and a BCS championship, cementing his legacy as the greatest Auburn quarterback there ever was.
