Junior Cameron Newton is listed at 6'6" and 250 pounds—you'd think he should be playing linebacker. But the dual-threat quarterback has led the Auburn Tigers to a 6-0 record on the year, both with his arm and his legs.
On the year, Newton has passed for 1,138 yards and 12 touchdowns with five interceptions, while rushing for 672 yards and nine touchdowns.
His solid build allows him to pummel his way through linebackers and safeties, while having the speed and agility to make defenders miss and find the end zone.
This week, Newton and the Tigers take on Ryan Mallett and the Arkansas Razorbacks in what will surely be a great game to watch.
