Newton threw around 30 passes in front of NFL scouts, rolling out for some while standing in the pocket for others, and afterward, some on the scene seemed to see it as a bit of a mixed bag.

However, Shedrick Jackson is convinced that Newton can help out an NFL team this season. “He’s done it before at a high level in college and in the pros,” the Auburn wideout said, “so, I think he still has it.”
Jackson, the nephew of NFL legend Bo Jackson, was particularly impressed by the touch on Newton’s footballs. As for his own workout at the Pro Day, Shedrick ran a ridiculously fast 4.25 40-yard dash and caught a grip of passes. He tells FLD Magazine that he’s hoping it’ll all help him land an opportunity in the NFL next season.
