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 mid-level starter potential prospect is a player who is likely to be a mid-level starter on their team, but with the potential to exceed expectations within 2-3 years. They have good physical tools and athleticism and can perform at a high level. They have some weaknesses, but they are minor. These players are typically fourth- or fifth-round picks, and they have the potential to be starters in the league.
