On Thursday morning, former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton held a private workout in San Diego, California in front of a mass crowd of media wanting to get their first look at him since the national championship game in early January.
According to ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer, Newton's workout "would have made scouts drool," if they had been there for it.
Ever since Dilfer gave that opinion, he's come under fire from just about everyone from Twitter to Facebook to everything in between. It's not the first time he's been in hot water over an opinion of a quarterback.
Last year, the former NFL quarterback gave his opinion on incoming rookie quarterbacks Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, and Colt McCoy saying McCoy, a former quarterback at the University of Texas, would be the better of the three. That opinion led some to fire back at Dilfer and call it a "conflict of interest" as Dilfer and McCoy were both clients of Athletes First.
Gregg Rosenthal of Pro Football Talk spoke to Dilfer in April of last year about what he had said. Rosenthal says Dilfer was very open and candid about his opinion and found him to be "passionate, candid, and credible."
