Jer’Zhan Newton
6’2, 295, DT

Currently leads all IDLs in the nation in:
* 33 QB pressures
* 24 quarterback hurries
* 501 snaps played (iron man)
* 2 blocked field goal attempts

He’s also second in the nation with 25 defensive stops. The video shows how dominant “Johnny” was in two games this season vs #PSU and #Wisconsin. He’s embarrassed other OLs all season.

Pro comparisons as far as an undersized DT that wins the burst, leverage, and brute strength includes #49ers Javon Hargrave, #Cowboys Osa Odighizuwa, and #Falcons Grady Jarrett.

@BenScottStevens Two in a row. They won't doubt it again as Witherspoon is ALREADY the top graded CB in the NFL.

[Ben Stevens @BenScottStevens]

Johnny Newton’s national ranks among interior defensive lineman:

• QB pressures - 33 (1st)
• QB hurries - 24 (1st)
• snaps played - 501 (1st)
• sacks - 3.5 (T-4th)
• blocked kicks - 2 (T-1st, all players)

A surefire First Team All-American for Illinois.

Note after watching the exhibition game, Illinois is very good. Should be a fun season.

Our Defensive Breakout Player of the Week is Jer'Zhan Newton from @IlliniFootball!

💪 6 tackles
🔥 8 quarterback pressures (@PFF)
💥 1 sack
🔒 First forced fumble of the season

@Johnny5Newton’s eight pressures were the most QB pressures by a DT in any Power-5 game this season.👏 #Illini

[ThaKid101 @Makeitman7]

@TodaySeahawks @DevonWitherspo1 It'll be a no brainer as the season goes on.

[ThaKid101 @Makeitman7]

@WrightRealtor1 @IlliniFB Watch Indiana last year or Penn State this year. Definitely think Newton has a similar rise though he's already considered a 1st rounder. He's not leaving the top 10, and should be top 5. When's the last time the Illini had top 5 picks in back to back drafts?

[$impleton @BoKnowsDK]
