INDIANAPOLIS -- The NFL scouting combine begins here Thursday, and Cam Newton isn't sneaking into town quietly. The superstar quarterback who led Auburn to the national championship last month told Sports Illustrated's Peter King earlier this week, "I see myself not only as a football player but an entertainer and an icon."So there you go, NFL teams. Where in the first round do you pick a self-proclaimed player/entertainer/icon with a fresh Heisman Trophy and national title on his resume? Two months remain to answer that question, but those answers will begin to take shape this week at Lucas Oil Stadium, where Newton and dozens of other NFL draft prospects will endure the league's grueling annual gauntlet of tests, interviews and nationally televised workouts.
The Carolina Panthers have the No. 1 overall pick and need a quarterback. And if Newton performs well here, don't be surprised if his name starts to come up when that spot is discussed.
