Didn't know that. I still have confidence Newton will come out ok tho.

Either way though, its a farce to believe that
a) Cam newton didnt know his father was shopping him to the highest bidder
and
b) That Newton decided to go to Auburn for nothing when he could of been paid elsewhere. Considering his first choice to play was Miss. State, it would only be logical to deduce that he was swayed to go elsewhere by something. There was a booster arrested recently that donated over a million dollars to Auburn right before Newton decided to go there, and with the FBI now involved, the outcome isnt likely to be favorable for either the kid or the school.

Ill be honest I think its a farce to believe any player of his ability isn't shopped. That's the reality. I think that its just a case of who gets caught. You really think Alabama recruited all those guys with no finances being moved around?

All that being said, the kid is a phenomenal college player and may have the right skillset to translate it into an NFL career. Like many "run first" QB's before him, he will need time to mature into a good NFL player, but just like we have seen with Vick recently, Tebow now and others, if teams have patience with guys like him...good things can come of it.

What strikes me about newton is his players LOVE him. Really love him. His guys look like they'd run thru a brick wall to get to the lowest bowels of hell with him. Being a true leader, a winner, and having the talent he has is a recipe for success in the NFL
