Historically, the Auburn football program has been known more for their running game than their passing game, and the Tigers tend to see more success keeping the ball out of the air. With a history of powerhouse running backs, the run game is always at the forefront on the Plains.

Bo Jackson, Carnell Williams, Michael Dyer, Tre Mason, and Kerryon Johnson are just a few successful former running backs out of the Auburn football program.
