He was a top 15 pick IMO before this story.

OK, like I said I don't watch much college ball and I know you do, so if his game vs Alabama was not really him then I'll call that effort an outlier. But there's still this -with Cushing's contract would you really want to tie up 1st round money in a second ILB which is afterall a low-priority position ?

I wish I shared your optimism of Newton as the Texans answer on a long-term basis for RT.
