Cameron Newton, Auburn

Projected 40 Time: 4.64.
Combine 40 Time: .
Pro Day 40 Time: .
Hand: .
Projected Round (2011): Top 16 Pick.
1/24/11: Cam Newton had a brilliant season, parlaying a $180,000 contract into a national championship. He's very raw, but possesses enough tools to intrigue a team like the Dolphins.

7/25/10: Cameron Newton has great size and athleticism to be a very effective collegiate quarterback, but like Dan LeFevour, will be downgraded for playing in a gimmick offense.

There is something about Newton that just makes me think he would not fit well in our scheme. WalterFootball might have explained it best but I would have said he just doesn't look to have enough patients to wait for a play to develope before deciding to run. It's one thing to scramble to get away from pressure or scramble to get to a better position to throw the ball but Newton looks (to me) like he would rather run the ball like Mike Vick in his early years.
