Cams Dad Cecil Newton Sr played DB for the Cowboys for 2 years and recorded 3 tackles in 9 games.

Cams Brother, Cecil Newton Jr is on the Jacksonville practice squad and hasn't really been given a chance to play.

There is football blood in his family but NFL success is lacking. Your thoughts?

it's not like HoFers breed HoFers and scrubs breed scrubs. Plenty of HoFers kids just barely make it. Being in the NFL even on the practice squad means that you're in the top 1%(maybe even less) of anybody that ever played organized football competitively. That's some serious stuff right there.

I think what I like more is that his parents have had such a stable marriage which is nice. You know he had a stable home environment.

After a storm like yesterday's im guessing the apple may have been driven into the ground..thus planting another tree. Then an apple falls from that tree, thus falling close to the tree yet further from the original tree.

u have to be somewhat successful to be on an nfl team, right?

Right, but since we're discussing how his dad and brothers success in the NFL would translate to Cam's potential success, I thought it would be fair to discuss how his dad and brother faired in the college ranks compared to Cam...

Oliver Luck was a highly touted QB prospect coming out of college. Was drafted in the second round by the Houston Oilers and was a complete bust.

You think if Luck were available we would be worried about his dad's NFL history? ;)

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
