With the first pick of the 2011 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select Cam Newton Auburn University. The Heisman Trophy winner came on stage at Radio City Music Hall, to shake NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hand. Many experts believe Carolina, took a risk with the selection of Newton, from an entourage and reading a defense standpoint. Hopefully Newton doesn't end up like former number one pick of the draft, JaMarcus Russell. Oakland took Russell out of LSU in 2007. Russell is currently out the league. Cam has a great personality, many people believe. He'll have to prove his greatness at the next level with his hard work, behind the scenes. It'll be interesting to see if Newton starts right away or will he learn from 2nd year quarterback from Notre Dame Jimmy Clausen. Either way Cam Newton is the official face of the Carolina Panthers franchise.
