Mike Newell
Brian Bahr/Allsport
He is a tough, hard-nosed guy that is not quite as big as some of the other centers in this group, although he does have good weight room strength. He has decent short area quickness, shows some balance, stays on his feet and gets good separation in his pass pro. He has good instincts and seems to have a good feel for blocking schemes. He does not have a lot of range and can look non-athletic in space and tends to be a little bit of a stiff player that doesn't always show great adjust. He will battle to finish every play, but he must get a little bigger and more physical to be able handle strong nose tackles.
