Lavar Arrington, afternoon radio host on 106.7 The Fan in DC, believes Cam Newton should be the overall number one draft pick in the upcoming NFL draft. This is an interesting take by the ex-NFLer given that many other leading football analysts seem to have differing opinions. Mike Mayock, NFL draft analyst for the NFL Network, said “ there are two issues with this Newton. Issue number one is he came out of a shotgun, and if you watch the tape it’s basically a very simple offense. One read and either the ball was out or he was out. Can he adapt to, can he process and assimilate a very structured and complex pro offense against a complex pro defense? And secondly, and most importantly, when you get to a certain skill level in the NFL, which this kid certainly has, at the quarterback position what kind of kid is he? Is he going to be the first guy in the building? Is he a gym rat? Is he football smart? Is he a leader of men.” ESPN’s Todd McShay, said ”Newton has rare overall physical tools, but there’s also more boom or bust potential there with him.” The real determining factor will be how the NFL scouts and GMs grade Newton, and when they get him alone in the room with an NFL coaching staff, will he sink or swim?
