Fits well in an outside zone blocking scheme that prioritizes athletic offensive linemen who can reach and sustain blocks on the perimeter.
Year 1 right tackle starter with the ceiling of an above-average long-term starter in the right scheme.
Gap/power run schemes where he would be asked to consistently move defenders off the line of scrimmage with raw strength.
Newton projects as a good fit for zone-heavy offenses that value his athleticism and movement skills over raw power at the tackle position.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
