Two former Auburn players threw passes during the 2020 NFL season, and both did so for the New England Patriots.
As the New England starter at quarterback, Cam Newton added 2,657 passing yards to his lead as the Auburn alumnus with the most in the NFL.
Jarrett Stidham played in five games – four in relief of Newton and one when the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner was on reserve/COVID-19. Stidham threw for 256 yards to boost his career total to 270, which ranks No. 7 on Auburn’s list of NFL passers.
