It was also said that Newton's individual team interviews did not go so well. Some say that it did and others say they were really bad. So to me it sounds like some teams loved him and others did not like what they saw from the Heisman trophy winner.
It's never a good sign to have teams not on your side, especially when you're trying to be a top five pick. Newton was a system quarterback at Auburn, which has been a huge worry for a lot of NFL teams considering drafting him. However Newton made it clear that his footwork has improved as well as his balance transferring his weight from back to front.
Newton will be best suited if drafted to a team he can sit out his first year. He is not ready to be thrown into the mix right away, because he would play poorly. Yes he would have some big highlights like deep throws and long touchdown runs, but the mistakes he would make would greatly outweigh his highlights. Newton needs time to develop and grow, and then he will be a star. Starting right away could hurt him. Newton will continue to work with George Whitfield Jr and by his Pro Day on March 8th he will have worked out the kinks he displayed at the Combine.
The two of them now how poorly he was throwing the ball at the Combine. Knowing Newton's work ethic he is already back at work improving his game, to show everyone on his Pro Day that he can in fact throw the football. To be a quarterback in the NFL you have to be physically and mentally capable of handing whatever comes your way.
Newton has the physical aspect of the game, but is he mentally prepared for the NFL? A lot of teams do not know this. He's a young kid and it worries scouts. Newton wants to be an entertainer and an icon. He's regarded as one of the fastest players in the NFL. None of the fastest times from the NFL playoffs entering the Super Bowl make the top for the entire season.
But there've still been some very fast run speeds, with Mecole Hardman and Tyreek Hill at the top being no surprise. Hardman makes the list twice, and their Super Bowl opponent Scotty Miller also slots in with a fastest-time tied with Lamar Jackson. Tyreek Hill didn't participate in the NFL combine because of a domestic abuse arrest. Hill's teammate and potential heir apparent in Kansas City is nearly as fast as "the Cheetah.
Despite being the class of speed in the NFL, Mostert didn't come in with the fastest yard dash time. He ran a 4. Chubb has yet to break into the charts above, but he had a few of the fastest runs of the season. Fournette's presence on this list begs the question of how fast his yard dash was. Like Chubb, he's put together speedy long runs despite a relatively pedestrian 40 time of 4. Beckham remains one of the best receivers in the open field thanks in part to the 4.
Barkley made the top run speeds list multiple times in , but he won't get to claim his place in the list due to a season-ending knee injury. Metcalf ran a 4. He blew up social media in Week 7 of the NFL season when he ran down Budda Baker to tackle the defender on a near-pick-six. Brown didn't run at the NFL Combine, but he has run a 4. That likely means he'd have a pretty good race with his teammate, Lamar Jackson, who has run a 4.
Jackson didn't run the yard dash at the NFL Combine, but at a " speed day " put on by Louisville in , he reportedly ran a 4. The fastest run speed of Jackson's NFL career so far came in Week 6 of the season, when he reached Mahomes has incorporated running as a part of his game, but usually as more of a passer who scrambles while still looking to throw. His NFL Combine yard dash time was 4. Murray also didn't run the yard dash at the NFL Combine.
Who does he think would be his toughest competition? Russell Wilson. Colin Kaepernick. Robert Griffin III. Cam Ne—. Decent speed.
