Johnny Newton Draft Profile:
- The 'Good' from Chat Sports' Tom Downey (@whatgoingdowney on Twitter):
Powerful hands; effective pass rush set; versatile and disruptive on the line.

- via The Athletic's Dane Brugler:
Newton’s undersized, compact frame will be a turn-off for some teams, but he is tough to block one-on-one, because of his gap quickness, natural power and nose for the ball. He projects as a dependable starting three-technique in the NFL.
GRADE: 1st-2nd Round (No. 28 overall)

- via PFF:
Newton has some physical limitations due to his size and lack of natural flexibility but his hand usage, pass-rush tools, and block-shedding ability allow him to be very productive in any alignment as a three-to-five-technique player.

- Downey's 'Bad':
Limited impact against top competition; Needs to improve pass rush moves; Struggles with leverage at times.
