Auburn football: 3 wide receivers that can become WR1 in 2021

Auburn football safety Sammy Cohen (12) is called for defensive holding as he guards Auburn wide receiver Kobe Hudson (5) during Auburn football A-Day spring game at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, April 17, 2021.

Unlike last year, there aren’t clear top dogs in the Auburn football WR room heading into the 2021 season.

At this point in 2020, Bo Nix had two future NFL draft picks (Seth Williams, Anthony Schwartz) and a third eventual NFL signee (Eli Stove) who were established and trusted to shoulder the load during the upcoming campaign.

This season, the top-rated pass-catching recruit is a sixth-year transfer playing for his third school.
