Newman has raw traits and potential to work with but lacks the experience and consistency to command a team right now. He has the size and athletic ability that many teams are looking for in a quarterback. However, he doesn't respond well when additional points of pressure are added to the box. While he has some dual-threat capabilities, his rushing stats were garnered more through volume than explosiveness. While there are clearly issues to work on, he does have the ability to operate in a variety of offensive looks. Newman could take a significant jump forward if he can get through his reads more quickly and learn to work in rhythm. He has the ceiling of an eventual NFL starter, but his floor is lower than teams might like.
