NFL Draft: Cam Newton

After Cam Newtons Heisman winning year and National Championship winning year at Auburn, Cam Newton has declared for the NFL Draft in April of 2011. As many people think, Heisman winners usually go into great NFL careers. That hasn't been the case for former Heisman winners that are QBs. For example, Troy Smith has not had a good career as a QB after his amazing career at Ohio State and Matt Leinart has not had a good start in the NFL after his good career at USC. But there are many NFL teams out there looking for a QB just to get them to 3 or more wins. In that case the 49ers, the Vikings(unless Farve comes back), the Seahawks and more. Cam Newton maybe able to lead these teams, but also may not have the potential as a NFL QB. He wasnt a very efficient passer, as his running game led the Tigers to the championship. Newton may be useful as a wildcat QB, and may be used like the Broncos use Tim Tebow.
