Depth Chart Overview

Auburn is loaded at running back with [autotag]Jarquez Hunter[/autotag], [autotag]Brian Battie[/autotag], [autotag]Damari Alston[/autotag] and Cobb. He is the youngest of the bunch but Cobb looks like a future workhorse and it would not be shocking for him to make a serious push for the RB2 role.

He has the ability to be a threat in the passing game and that could be his route to early playing time in a crowded group. Hunter is the clear leaded of the group but the rotation behind him is still far from set, something Cobb will look to take advantage of.
