What about Neil Caudle

With the Auburn offense in shambles, and neither Kodi Burns or Chris Todd showing much at quarterback, I have to wonder why third stringer Neil Caudle hasn’t at least been given an opportunity on the field.
In the A-Day game, I was surprised with the speed he showed when scrambling, considering the knee problems he’s had in the past. He’s got a strong arm, but has been guilty of throwing into traffic too often.
Still, here’s a kid that was a star in high school, and I would like to see him at least get another look at running this offense. He is among those signaling in the plays, so he likely has a good knowledge of the system.
Right now he’s definitely the forgotten man, but in the weeks to come, who knows?
Maybe he’ll get a chance.
