Newton QB Cam will 1 in NFL Draft to the Panthers

 Cam Newton provided one of the few predictable times, so far, in a bizarre shoulder of the NFL.

While the League labour dispute went before the courts, the winner of the Heisman Trophy has been selected as no. 1, as expected, in the draft on Thursday night, taken by the Carolina Panthers NFL.

Moments before the name of the Auburn quarterback was called by Roger Goodell, frustrated fans showered the Commissioner of the NFL with chants of "we want football." We want football. ?

Goodell replied with a smile, saying: "I hear you." "so do I."

Newton led Auburn to an undefeated season and its first national championship since 1957. Caroline was 2-14 last year, with the help of four quarterbacks, two of them, the recruits.

"I am ready to change this all whole body, to go from worst to first," said Newton, the third line right quarterback taken first overall. "Just being a Panther is the most special part about it."

Then things are a little wackier when Texas A & M linebacker Von Miller became the second choice, selected by Denver. Miller, a plaintiff in the players of antitrust trial filed to block the lockout, strode across the stage with tears to the eyes and étreint Goodell.

"I never had nothing against Roger Goodell," said Miller. "I want just to ensure continued to have played football." When I came across the stage, I was meeting the Commissioner. This is it. ?

It is a strange opening to what is normally a festive event. In this shoulder of labour disputes, the first work stoppage the League since 1987 temporarily ends Friday. The 32 teams will resume business under the provisions of the order of U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson to lift the lockout.

But the lockout could be in place if the NFL wins an appeal. If this happens, Newton, Miller and all the players selected Thursday evening would be pushed back into the recesses of the work.

For the moment, they will be allowed to report to their teams, meet coaches and get the rules. Contract negotiations are uncertain until the League announced its rules for the 2011 season - rules which may be in effect for that little time, if an appeal is granted.

The project was never in danger of being held because it is protected under the old collective agreement which expired in March. Moments before that everything began, Goodell has requested a minute of silence for the victims of vicious storms which decimated part of the South on Wednesday. On stage, he was surrounded by the stars of Auburn and Alabama and their coaches.

With respect to the stars, none not shined more brilliant than Newton, who has demonstrated that it can handle the heat of a projector. He turned in a 2010 season sensational, while the NCAA investigated his recruitment. Father of Newton, Cecil, admitted soliciting money from the State of Mississippi during the recruitment process, but said that neither the player nor knowledge Auburn toll attempt.

Third, Buffalo selected Alabama nose tackle Marcell Dareus, which gave to Goodell an even greater hug. Of course, Dareus weighs 308 pounds, about 70 more than Miller - and at least 100 more than Goodell.

Instead, Cincinnati, may call the bluff of quarterback Carson Palmer, who is demanding a trade, took the top receiver in this culture, A.J. Green of the Georgia.

Arizona, also need a quarterback, selected the top cornerback of the available page, Patrick Peterson of LSU.
