The MVP awards for Auburn's annual spring game have, in their history, ranged from star players guaranteed to have big seasons to walk-ons who never saw the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium again.
That makes speculating all the more fun.
While there won't be a 2020 A-Day spring scrimmage due to the coronavirus shutting down sports in the United States, we can still look at Auburn's roster and guess which players would have stolen the show.
Would it have been an early enrollee freshman on offense? A dominating veteran on defense? Another Carlson on special teams?
