Chas Nimrod is becoming exactly the veteran The Auburn Tigers young receivers need.

And that doesn't necessarily mean being the loudest guy in the room.

Nimrod admitted as much when talking about the leadership role he has taken on since arriving at Auburn.

“I'm not the biggest vocal leader,” Nimrod said.

But Auburn doesn't necessarily need Nimrod giving speeches every day.

It needs him showing everyone else what this is supposed to look like.

Nimrod is one of the oldest players in an Auburn receiver room that Alex Golesh has admitted gets young pretty quickly.

Keshaun Singleton and Jeremiah Koger have experience.

But then Auburn gets to guys like Deshawn Spencer and Brian Williams Jr., two freshmen who have generated plenty of excitement throughout fall camp Both should have a big role in the Tigers' offense this season.

And Nimrod is a big reason why they can be ready.

“I definitely try and just be a good example and do everything right so that the young guys have like somebody to look at,” Nimrod said.

Nimrod has already played a lot of college football.

He's been at Tennessee. He's played for Golesh and Kodi Burns at South Florida. Now he's back in the SEC for his final season.

And Like his quarterback, Byrum Brown, he understands what an actual college football routine needs to look like.

“They can look at me and be like, ‘Okay, like this is what a real process looks like,’” Nimrod said.

His leadership since arriving on the Plains is another reason to show exactly what Golesh has been talking about since he has taken over the reins as head coach. He's looking to set the standard, the process, and consistency in making sure you do things the right way every single day, with no reps off.

And Nimrod is apparently showing Auburn's young receivers what that looks like while they're trying to establish their own routines. From the beginning of spring camp to the 13-day hotel stay to begin fall camp, and heading into the season that begins in Atlanta against the Baylor Bears.

The talent isn't really the question with Spencer and Williams, Experience is the only setback as they look to play in one of the toughest conferences in college football.

Nimrod called Spencer “one of the most natural football players I've been around” and said Auburn could essentially plug him into the offense immediately.

Williams has impressed him for a completely different reason.

“He's probably one of the best route runners I've seen like at his size,” Nimrod said.

But being talented and knowing how to handle an entire college football season are two different things.

Spencer and Williams haven't done that yet.

Nimrod has.

And that's why his role in this receiver room goes beyond however many catches he makes this season.

Auburn needs Nimrod to produce.

But it also needs Spencer, Williams and the rest of its young receivers to understand what it takes to eventually become the veterans Auburn can depend on. This new regime that is leading the program can do two things at one time.

They can field a competitive team to put up wins in their first season at Auburn, something that players like Nimrod Brown and some of the older players are looking forward to doing. They are also setting the new standard, the new identity at Auburn, that will last years and hopefully turn this program back into a contender where it belongs.
