CHARLOTTE, N.C.-before signing off the coast on the decision to write Cam Newton No. 1 overall, owner of Carolina Panthers Jerry Richardson has invited the former Auburn quaterback home and withdraw a letter from a fan.
"In this letter," explained Newton, "the person said," Mr. Richardson, can you ask Cam Newton he wants to be great? "" "". "
A day after the bet Panthers that Newton has the desire to be a franchise quarterback, Newton stood at a podium, Friday, in a crisp grey adapt and blue tie and juror should not be outworked.
"I understand that it is not something that is going to be instant, as instant grits", Newton said to adapt to the NFL. "It is more like collard greens" You let it sit and wait. But at the same time, it will be a fun process. I know that. ?
Sporting a broad smile and seeping trust, Newton met with journalists at his new place of work Friday he embarks on a quest that allow negative labels and overcome scrutiny to lead the Panthers to the basement of the NFL.
"I embraced this process to be a person that everyone watching," said Newton.
This is certainly the case as Newton parade around Bank of America Stadium as the highest of the draft - and probably the most risky - in 17 seasons for the Panthers.
Questions surround his problems off-field in Florida, his alleged father of toll regime during his recruitment and how he will adapt to an offence of propagation to Auburn to a pro-style system where reading defenses is more difficult.
"When you look at the Auburn offence, they see a bit of a simplistic offence." But at the same time, you cannot blame me to enter in an offense that a coach had his own philosophy, Newton said. "It's my job to make this transition and to do everything to operate".
A 6-foot-5, winner of Heisman Trophy 248-pound certainly does this to Auburn. He threw 30 touchdown passes and ran for 20 more for the 14 - pour le 14-0 de les Tigres 0 of the Tigers championship season. In comparison, the registered Panthers 16 offensive touchdowns two games more in 2010.
"His ability to run with the football, as a carrier of ball, not only as a scrambler," coach Ron Rivera said when asked about the strengths of Newton. "It may open things for our running backs.". If defence crashes down on the line of scrimmage, he can bootleg outside and do something to occur.
But how long will take to get to this point? And it can stay out of the crisis?
Dishes of Herm Edwards on decision of Caroline to select Cam Newton with the No. 1 pick, the nature of the draft and much more.
"Podcasts more."Center Ryan Kalil was unable to resist caquet his new teammate when it posted on Twitter, "Congratulations to entertainer and icon, Cam Newton." This is in reference to a statement of fact Newton Sports Illustrated in which he said that he regarded as more than a football player.
Kalil, however, hastened to attend Newton Friday.
Kalil "Listen, both that it is winning football games, and we help win football games he can say and do what he wants," said.
Winning has happened only twice for Carolina season last in the terrible quarterback play. Jimmy Clausen part 1-9 as a starter rookie after he replaced the injured and ineffective Matt Moore.
"Obviously we fought last year," said Moore, defined as a free agent. "If a guy like that is an explosive player can help this team, it is a good choice."
There was another element of the plot in the imminent QB competition.
After that Newton was with Rivera holding a no. 1 Panthers Jersey and cameras flashed, Newton was asked if he hoped wear no. 2, that he was at Auburn.
"I will try," said Newton.
This number is now up to Clausen.
And while that Clausen allowed via a text message Thursday night, it is not to give his employment. Clausen was among the first players to arrive at the headquarters of the team at dawn Friday when the NFL opened its doors, following an order by the Court at the end of the lockout.
"He wished me luck.". Just for a person to do, which speaks volumes on his personality and the type of person he really is, "said Newton. "We had an interesting conversation on Charlotte." He said he was here and I was hoping that might get a chance to meet him. I am pleased not only meeting Jimmy, but much other teammates. ?
After having talked about how he hoped the profile of her work ethic after star quaterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, Newton was taken for meetings with the coaches. It was the first step in a process in which the Panthers and Newton hoping to prove critical.
"I say now: I try to be the best,"Newton says. ".I strive to be great. ?
