Newton opts for NFL Draft

Auburn Tigers quarterback Cameron Newton has decided to skip his senior season and enter the NFL Draft.

The move does not come as a major surprise, especially after he won the Heisman Trophy and national championship.

Newton is rated as one of the top quarterbacks in the draft and expected to be taken in the middle of the first round.

There are a number of teams in desperate need of a quarterback, making it a relatively easy decision.

There was also concern that he could end up being investigated further if he returned to school.
