Profile
Newton's stock skyrocketed with a stellar performance in Auburn's national championship game win over Oregon. The talented QB comes with some baggage regarding the scandal involving his father, but it rarely affected his play on the field. His combine showing could potentially send him into the top 5 when it wasn't clear whether he would even crack the top 10 before he declared. An unbelievable athlete with size and a great arm to boot, it may come down to a love-hate relationships scouts have with him. There are major concerns about his mechanics and field vision, yet his upside is massive. Being only a one-year starter at Auburn makes Newton more of a project for teams at this point, but a team in desperate need of a spark may not be able to resist temptation and draft him with the intent to have him start at some point in 2011. His accuracy needs to be more consistent, but he can make plays with his arm and leg and still has plenty of room to develop. That is a scary thought given his raw talent.
