Newton has 59 college starts. This from The Beast: "Has only average twitch and long speed for tight coverage versus NFL athletes, but he is instinctive and competitive with inside-outside experience. He projects best in a zone-heavy scheme, in which he can work short areas and play the ball in front of him."
NFL scouts cooled on him throughout his final season in college … will be a 24-year-old rookie.
He is good enough to make the roster as the backup slot and situational guy, plus a ST threat. There will be some guys he just can't be trusted guarding, but will make the roster. Could still sign one of the many vet UFAs.
