Newton said he doesn't believe race hinders anyone at his position, though he did acknowledge he had to fight to remain a quarterback during his formative years.
"Even leading up to college, having a lot of athleticism playing the quarterback position was looked down upon," said Newton, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 draft. "Especially the size, the speed, the stature gave coaches nods to say, 'Hey let's put him at wide receiver, at tight end.' I heard all that. But it never derailed me from playing or living up to my dream."]



This is all but confirms that if you are not a quarterback you don't get any credit for wanting to pursue your dream(ie.Tebow, Crouch, Matt Jones)
Meanwhile, the sackless writer sounds like he's excited about the possible outcome and then some.
