Has two big-time messed up feet, which caused him to fall all the way from the first round to early second. Now if he had "boring feet" like so many White linemen have to go with the tiny little arms, Newton would be a FA. Does anyone wanna bet that this guy won't be a bust?
Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz reports Commanders rookie DT Johnny Newton had successful surgery on his foot.
Newton needed surgery for a Jones fracture after needing surgery on his opposite foot earlier this year. Once projected as a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Newton fell to the No. 36 pick with teams exercising some concerns on his feet. He was scooped up by Washington, who hope to add him to a healthy defensive line. Schultz reports the Commanders are optimistic that Newton will make a full recovery before the regular season.
