Cam Newton Picked By The Carolina Panthers In NFL Draft

 

Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Cam Newton, who led the Auburn Tigers to a 13–0 regular season record and the 2011 BCS national championship, was selected first overall Thursday by the Carolina Panthers to kick off the 2011 NFL Draft.

NFL.com senior writer Steve Wyche reported earlier this week that the Newton (6-foot-5, 248 pounds) created a very positive buzz at team headquarters when he visited a few weeks ago. During that stop, he also met with team owner Jerry Richardson, who was among many impressed with how Newton handled his lengthy interview.

"This kid is an amazing kid, as far as his resiliency," said Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon, who is in New York with Newton for the draft and has been helping him prepare for a career in the NFL. "He just doesn't seem to let things bother him. He has such a strong base as far as how he was raised and what his father preached to him all these years growing up about how great (he) can be, never taking anything for granted, all these different things that he taught him. He just seems to go along his life and have a great time, and he knows exactly what he wants to do, he knows how to get it done, and that's what he's going about doing.
