New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton is a big guy. Sure, he doesn’t quite stand out when surrounded by mammoth linemen. But when you seem him in person, it really starts to come together what a unique athletic specimen he is.
It’s a lot like seeing a basketball player off the court -- it really hits you.
Newton’s unique size and speed was something that Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden emphasized when talking about Newton this week. Back when Gruden was working for ESPN, he sat down with Newton when the quarterback was coming into the draft.
