All you get is the talking heads. few highlight footage. Didn't even get much info on Newton. The CBS draft tracker site says Newton has a skill in good in press coverage. Not a good tackler, not very athletic and on and on what he is bad at. However is a good press coverage guy.....I see he is 6 foot tall and 190. and Bengals tend to like the taller CB's over those short guys, so 6 foot tall is probably what Bengals like. TV didn't say much about him, but they skip over Cincinnati a lot in the drafts in the late rounds, and not much now for Bengals Fans to keep watching ESPN of NFL Network as they will skip over Cincinnati from here to the end. .....It didn't say good on Special Teams. sometimes a late DB is to help on Special Teams, but no info on that.....Good in press coverage, which is something. A player to develop and Coach Up.
Yeah I know they like captains (right Weezy?) and I am seeing that him being older and experienced makes them think he’s pro ready. Maybe they are giving up some youth and developmental talent for a guy they think can step right in and help them more this year?
