Newton’s pro day shows why he should be No. 1

AUBURN, Ala. — Cam Newton had told me earlier Tuesday that he let me down at the NFL Scouting Combine and that he’d make up for it during his personal workout.

Consider Newton a man of his word. And if I’m the Panthers, I would take this quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick.

The main attraction of Auburn’s pro day put on quite the show before representative from all 32 teams (approximately 125 personnel folks), including five head coaches — Ron Rivera (Panthers), John Fox (Broncos), Marvin Lewis (Bengals), Ken Whisenhunt (Cardinals), and Pat Shurmur (Browns).

Gil Brandt is all over Cam Newton, no surprise there.

I did not get the same feeling from the workout but I did leave the ESPN broadcast feeling slightly better about him. Not enough to want him #1, but I'm not paid to make those decisions, either.

I'd give Newton's workout a "B." Considering I'd given him a D for the Combine, that's improvement. Enough for No 1? Maybe for some, not me.

Better performance from Cam Newton. Eleven incompletions thrown by Newton including five drops. Solid, not spectacular, but better than Indy

Evan Silva, PFT

Newton connected on 50-of-60 passes, which is a substandard “completion percentage” for an elite quarterback prospect at an on-campus workout. For comparison, Matt Ryan was 48-of-52 at Boston College’s Pro Day in 2008, and Sam Bradford went 49-for-50 last March.

He was throwing into a pretty stiff breeze in Indy too. No, wait a....

Actually the wind was pretty bad inside Lucas Oil Stadium that day. Rex Ryan was watching his workout closely and having judged the annual NFLPA Chilli Combine the night before, gale force winds were reported in his vicinity. :D

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Woukd be a great addition You know the issues from my prespective, 2 things the Panthers must do 1. Edge or pass rushers or 2 oline or 3 oline or as Andy Reid says, when in doubt, draft a lineman it is time   That oline is troubling plus a small person at QB  they   1. Can do a lot better than mayes at center, 2. and lewis has had injuries all season. 3. Moton should not have  been resigned long term, 4. corbett is a shadow and will probably be released  5 and Christianson coming off Achilles   6 and the kicker, would be Ickey’s contract if they decide to keep him INMO rookie and contracts will be needed to offset all that

      Svechnikov passing up an empty netter leading to Jarvis getting hurt in an OT that we shouldn't have been playing.   Jarvis may be done for the year I'd be shocked if he didnt break a rib and make his shoulder injury worse.....    And make no mistake Jarvy is the player we could least afford to lose, the only bona fide goal scorer we have.
