It would have been cooler had he been signed and was playing today, but it blows my mind how he can take a year off and still be in a position to suit up and play in a playoff game at his age.
In my judgment T.New is the finest football athlete from Kansas in the last 30 years. I will listen to other contenders, but in anyone's reasonable opinion he would be in the top 2 or 3. He was so athletically gifted, he played in all 3 phases in the game. If anything, I wish Bill had played him more at receiver.
In his first 6 years in the NFL, he only made 2 pro bowls. That is misleading and quite frankly a shame because he was a pure shutdown corner and teams simply did not throw to the receiver he was guarding. He actually took an entire 1/3 of the field away. People overuse the term gamechanger, but Newman completely changed the trajectory of the game from his position.
