After Cam Newtonââ¬â¢s media-only workouts last month, former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer (now an analyst for ESPN) raved about the 2010 Heisman winner.
ââ¬ÅThat was phenomenal,ââ¬Â Dilfer said. ââ¬ÅIf scouts saw this theyââ¬â¢d have been slobbering.ââ¬Â
But not everyone agrees. Former NFL quarterback Jack Trudeau, who currently co-hosts a drive-time FOX Sports Radio show with Dominic Zaccagnini, said during my weekly Monday morning visit that Newton has flaws.
ââ¬ÅI love his arm,ââ¬Â Trudeau said of Newtown. ââ¬ÅBut his mechanics suck.ââ¬Â
Trudeau explained that it was the mechanics and not timing issues with unfamiliar receivers that hurt Newton at the Scouting Combine. Trudeau also believes that Newton showed similar mechanical flaws at his media-only session.
