Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is just one of the many rookies that will enter the 2011 season at a disadvantage considering they’re not allowed to work out with their new team during the lockout. Instead, these rookies are forced to work on their own in anyway possible–which Newton is currently doing in Florida.
The Associated Press discussed on Friday how Newton has been working out with former Panthers quarterback Chris Weinke in Florida for about an hour or two each day. Weinke spent two seasons of his short NFL career with the Panthers and is currently the director of the IMG Madden Football Academy–a training program that works with football players.
Newton said he’s been starting his days around 7 a.m. and often not finishing up until around 7 each night. He begins with treatment for any soreness lingering from previous workouts. His days also include conditioning and at least an hour or two of work with Weinke, a former Panther himself.

i don't think he'll take up farve's offer because he's clearly looking for QB's who played college in Florida to great success only to flame out in the NFL.
So up next will be Chris Leak, Danny Wuerffel, and Tim Tebow.

I know everyone is making jokes about this but if I was a Panthers fan I would be very encouraged that he is putting in the work & not just sitting on his ass during the lockout. JaMarcus Russell or Vince Young did not have this level of commitment early (or really ever!!) that Newton seems to have.

Cam Newton has huge potential. I wouldn't be surprised if he did well. His team sucks though... One thing that is good is that if their RBs can stay healthy a lot of pressure can be lifted off of him.

Funny, Weinke started the final game of the season back in 2007 vs. Browns. Newton will be working out with cowboy Cody Pickett before you know it.
