Newton is an ELITE pass-rushing prospect. His major failing is getting washed out in the run game. When he increases his strength and lowers his pad level in the pros, it will help him a lot there. He'll still lose length battles at times but he's as good a pass-rushing DT prospect as has come out in years. What matters most in today's NFL? We all give Chris Jones a pass for his shitty play against the run, and have for years. This guy averaged 6 sacks a year in college. I think I'll take the pass rush and worry about his run fits later. Put him in a 1-gap system like ours? Yeah, watch him feast.
