Newkirk as a sophomore threw for 846 yards and 10 total touchdowns.  Good athlete with dual threat ability.  Impactful on designed runs along with moving well inside and out of the pocket to make throws. Quick sling shot release getting it out of his hands. Picks up yardage on the ground when the play breaks down.
