Cam Newton Struggles at Scouting Combine Throwing Drills

Beyond off-the-field issues, the main criticism of Cam Newton is that he will struggle with the adjustment from Auburn's run-first offense to a pro-style offense.

If his throws at the Scouting Combine are any indication, he still needs to work on that adjustment.

In my previous post, I stated that Newton messed up a wide receiver drill by throwing to the wideout's inside shoulder on a fade route. On the actual QB drills, Newton did the same thing while throwing to receivers on deeper fade routes.

In actual NFL games, those passes will be intercepted.

Next came the QB drill where receivers run comeback routes. On this instance, Newton threw a couple passes way over the receiver's head and out of bounds.

Newton has a ton of talent, as his broad jump and 40-yard dash times show. But until he learns how to throw the football like a real pro-style quarterback, he will struggle in the NFL.
