sCam Newton

Anyone who would take sCam Newton in the first round would be a complete fool. Why? sCam Newton has JaMarcus Russel written all over him from his off the field troubles to his sketchy on field performances when people game plan against him. sCam Newton won a national trophy, sCam Newton won a Heisman trophy but both of those awards are direct reflections of the team he played on. Oregon did a great job of shutting him down in the BCS National championship game, a defense that was touted as "small" by the rest of the nation.

His off the field issues are a direct reflection of his character, people claim they are picking on him because he was a Heisman finalist. Where are the rumours about Andrew Luck? Where are the rumours about LaMichael James? there aren't any and that's because very rarely accusations are ever 100% fabricated, not saying he took money or that his dad took money. I am saying that it's pretty tough to not notice your dad rockin a new sports coat and range rover from his construction salary.

On the field over-rated-ness, Quarterbacks who can only run don't end up making a good cross over into the NFL. Auburn had the 5th best rushing offense in the nation and only the 66th best passing offense, mainly due to sCam Newton's stellar running and people being to stop it but when a team was able to stop it (like they will be able to in the NFL) he didn't wow people with his arm (especially in the Nat. Championship).

All in all sCam Newton was an amazing college football player but do not be surprised when he is a career back up in the NFL. and PLEASE  do me a favor and ignore anything that comes out of Mel Kiper Jr's mouth. I mean seriously what does this guy even know about Quarterbacks and the NFL, "Brady Quinn will be the 1st quarterback taken" and "Tim Tebow won't go until late third round" good one Mel, keep up the good work!
