College Coaches tried to get Cam to switch position link
Steve Spurrier:
Recalling the day about decade ago when Newton and his dad came to one of his football camps, Spurrier said he was immediately impressed with Cam's size (at the time, 6 feet 5 and 230 pounds) and agility.
"And I was smart enough to say, ‘If you can't make it at quarterback, you could be a heck of a tight end.'"
Mark Richt:
"I remember him, a very talented guy, a guy that we looked at. We actually had him pegged more as a tight end prospect. A lot of it had to do with what we liked to do offensively. It was more of a fit than any type of disrespect to his ability to play quarterback."
