  Caylin Newton's best opportunity will come at a new position for Auburn -- receiver. Marion believes he can fill a role similar to the ones held by Ryan Davis - the program's all-time receptions leader - and Will Hastings, a former walk-on kicker-turned-NFL receiver, both of whom were shifty slot-type receivers who found success in Malzahn's offense. Caylin Newton could also provide some veteran depth at quarterback, which will be more important than ever while trying to navigate a season in the midst of a pandemic, as well as provide the Tigers with another Wildcat option following the February departure of Boobee Whitlow, and as a potential return man on special teams. "Well the thing about Caylin, you got to look at his career before he got here at Howard, what he did," Malzahn said.

"He was a record-setting quarterback at Howard and leading that team, what they did…. He's got a lot of winner in him…. He has a lot of intangibles. He's a really smart guy. He's been a quarterback. He's a leader. I think he's going to have a chance to help us in a lot of different ways, and not just at wide receiver, but some other ways too." While Caylin Newton could become a Swiss Army Knife of sorts for Auburn this season if he can crack the two-deep depth chart, Marion is confident in what his former protégé can bring to the receiver position despite never really playing there before. Marion knows what it takes to excel as a receiver in Malzahn's offense, too, as he set records at the position while playing for Malzahn at Tulsa from 2007-08 and then developed his Go-Go offense based on the same principles as Malzahn's Hurry Up, No Huddle system. - Birmingham News
