Great kid on and off the field. A super hard worker.
He was literally the highest rated DT by PFF over the last few years. The kid was disruptive on both offense and defense, and there were times he was being triple teamed. only player I've ever seen get triple teamed.
He is a great pass rusher, incredibly fast and athletic (was a RB in high school), and doesnt take plays off.
Easily the best player on the field in every game he played this season. A real stud.
If he stays healthy, and I think he will, Newton is going to be the steal of this draft.

Wow. This is a fantastic endorsement. Have to admit, I was surprised by the pick but now I see why. Commanders loaded at dt!
