It is no secret that Auburn’s running backs are the strength of the offense heading into the 2022 season.
The Tigers get both of Tank Bigsby and Jarquez Hunter back from last season and they should each have a key role in the offense. While there is plenty of uncertainty surrounding which quarterback will hand them the ball, both Bigsby and Hunter are capable of creating explosive plays and carrying an offense for a stretch.
The loss of Shaun Shivers to Indiana hurts and means that one of the running backs will need to take a step forward as a pass catcher, especially considering the unproven wide receiver group.
Regardless of who the Tigers end up hiring to run the offence, Bigsby and Hunter should be a major part of the offense as the rest of the offence settles into their new roles.
Here is a look at the full rotation at running back.
