Throughout the 2011 season like I always did as a front-office executive, I will track the performance of the top 15 drafted players, analyzing their production prior to them slamming into the rookie wall, which is inevitable. This project is not to second-guess coaches, general managers or even the players, but it has always been an interesting study. Someone has to go No. 1, but is it really the best player in the draft? Were they taken for need, or was it just a flat-out bad pick?
Cam Newton is a tall, handsome young man with striking features, a broad, chiseled chin and a big, bright smile that lights up a room like several hundred halogen lamps. As one woman told me, he could be a male model during the offseason. In short, Newton has charisma, confidence and is very poised for a young man. While his youthfulness still shines through, along with moments of immaturity, he has grown up quickly in the last several months.
Let's take a quick walk down memory lane.
CARRY ON
