For the first time since the 2013 season, two former Auburn quarterbacks started games in the same NFL season in the 2022 campaign.

Former Auburn teammates Jarrett Stidham started the final two games of the regular season when the Las Vegas Raiders benched Derek Carr and Malik Willis got the opportunity to start three games for the Tennessee Titans when Ryan Tannehill was injured.
