The pressure is on Cam Newton.
His NFL Scouting Combine performance generated mixed results, but tomorrow is Newton’s chance at redemption. Â It’s Auburn’s pro day, and Broncos brass will be there – but Denver has eyes for someone else.
Nick Fairley, this is your opportunity to impress.
The DT is on the list of serious contenders for Denver’s draft sweepstakes. Â The Broncos have the second overall pick, and the general consensus is Denver will opt for a defensive standout.
Perhaps someone like Nick Fairley, but this year is an especially deep talent pool for defensive game changers, so it’s anyone’s guess.
Panthers head coach Ron Rivera is also expected at Auburn’s pro day. Â There’s increasing talk Carolina may draft offense with the first overall pick, something the Broncos are certainly pulling for.
Auburn’s pro day kicks off a series of pro days Denver officials will attend in the coming weeks. Â Here’s hoping the agenda includes a March 14 visit to Baton Rouge for LSU’s pro day. Â Cornerback Patrick Peterson warrants another look.
