Cam Newton VS. Jerod Evans

Cam Newton has a bunch of trophies in his closet. He won the Heisman Trophy, a national championship, a NFL MVP, and perhaps a Super Bowl ring. He played at Florida, then Blinn College. Blinn College is a junior college in Mississippi, and that is where Cam caught the eye of other football powerhouses. Newton was recruited by Mississippi State, and Oklahoma. He eventually landed at Auburn. Auburn rode Cam all the way to the promised land, winning a national championship in 2010. Jerod Evans hasn't had quite the checkered past of Newton, but shows some similar attributes. Evans was highly recruited by Justin Fuente at Memphis.
