PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Newton's skill set makes him an ideal fit for a zone defense where he can leverage his recognition skills and burst to close on the ball. His physicality and ball skills also make him a valuable asset in press coverage. He could be most effective in schemes that allow him to use his anticipatory skills and quick reaction to challenge receivers and make plays on the ball.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
