Stidham had one of the best passing seasons in Auburn history. The former Baylor QB threw for 3,158 yards with 18 touchdown passes and 6 interceptions. He completed 66.5 percent of his passes in helping the Tigers win the SEC West and finish with a 10-4 record.
As just the second Auburn quarterback to throw for 3,000 yards and the first to return the season after throwing for 3,000, it’s understandable why Stidham would be getting a lot of preseason love this time around.
Stidham finds himself on about every preseason watch list that a quarterback is eligible to be listed on as well as receiving Heisman odds.
