Cam Newton | More QB Mentors Added To Camp

Cam Newton has been working out with former NFL quarterback Ken Dorsey, who started 13 career games in the NFL and played for new Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski for four seasons at the University of Miami.

Add Dorsey to the latest list of mentors for Newton, who has also been working out with former Panthers quarterback Chris Weinke on a regular basis and plans to workout with Brett Favre, who shares the same agent in Bus Cook.

Leading up the draft, Newton received teaching from quarterback guru Bob Whitfield and NFL legend Warren Moon, who heavily defended the former Heisman Trophy winner during the pre-draft process when Newton’s character was called into question.

These appear to be all the right steps for the number one overall pick, hopefully in translates into a prepared player for the Panthers as there

San Francisco views Kaepernick as their long-term signal caller and will receive tutoring from Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck on learning the pro style type offense that head coach Jim Harbugh likes run, which is a complete change than the ‘Pistol offense Kaepernick ran at Nevada.

Meanwhile, the 49ers will keep their options open once the NFL resumes business. Harbaugh has made it known publicly that

Janoris Jenkins | Still Deciding On Future

Interested in transferring to an NCAA Division II football program, former Florida cornerback Janoris Jenkins has visited North Alabama but has not yet decided to transfer here, according to sources close to Jenkins and UNA, the Times Daily of Alabama reports.

Several internet reports surfaced yesterday that had made it appear Jenkins had filed his transfer papers to enroll at North Alabama, which has been known to take on players who are in need of an image rehab in the past.

When contacted by the NFL Draft Bible on Thursday, North Alabama officials were unable to confirm the reports but it does seem it is one of the options Jenkins is seriously contemplating.

An official announcement on Jenkins’ future is expected to come within a week.

Chris Hairston | 4th Rd. Gem In Line To Start

Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix confirmed that fourth-rounder Chris Hairston will compete for the starting right tackle job. “He’s long-armed and will help keep guys off our quarterback,” said Nix.

Any time you can snag a potential starter in the fourth round, it shows tremendous value of the pick, something not uncommon in this year’s draft, which some might say lacked a ‘franchise’ quarterback or lots of ‘star’ potential but did offer up a deep draft, filled with talent that enable many teams to select players in the third and fourth rounds capable of starting.

The Bills offensive line has been somewhat of a work in progress over the past few years, as they have used several picks to help strengthen the o-line. Hairston will compete with Erik Pears and Mansfield Wrotto. It wouldn’t be shocking to see him take the job.

NFL: Matt Leinart Offers Low Cost/High Reward

The Los Angeles Daily News is “hearing” that the Seahawks have spoken to free agent Matt Leinart about playing in Seattle, according to USC Trojans beat writer Scott Wolf.

How this speculation begins is anyone’s guess. NFL teams are not allowed to contact or speak with pending free agents or the agents who represent them.

If the Seahawks truly believed Leinart was an option as a strrter, they would have most likely made a play for him during free agency a year ago.

However with the chances of Matt Hsselbeck re-signing looking loke a 50/50 prposition, Leinart could be a contingent policy to Chalie Whitehurst since he is familiar with the team’s offensive scheme playing under Pete Carroll at USC.

It has been six long years since the two were enjoying the Trojans’ glory years, Carroll will be looking for a remedy at quarterback

NFL: Dolphins Overhaul Backfield Via Draft

Out with the old and in with the new. With the Dolphins unlikely to bring back Ronnie Brown or Ricky Williams, both of whom will be pending free agents when the NFL resumes, the team insured themselves of a backfield facelift in the 2011 NFL Draft.

While many figure on second round pick Daniel Thomas to carry the bulk of the workload for the Dolphins, the Palm Beach Post speculates that Miami also envisions him as the successor to Brown as the main Wildcat signal caller.

Thomas played QB in junior college where he was 31-67 for 578 yards and four touchdowns. While at Kansas State, he was 8-12 for 155 yards and two touchdowns.

Miami plans to use sixth-rounder Charles Clay in a H-Back type of capacity, as a receiver out of the backfield, in the slot and at tight end, in

DJK | Undrafted FA Could Make An Impact

The next journey for Iowa wide receiver Derrell Johnson-Koulianos a.k.a. “DJK” awaits after being undrafted during the 2011 NFL Draft.

The Hawkeyes all-time leader in receptions and receiving yardage was suspended from the team after pleading guilty to drug possession in December, forcing him to miss the Insight Bowl.

The arrest hovered over his head, as the NFL did not extend an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine in February, yet another failed opportunity to get a chance to impress in front of scouts.

Now he sits and waits for the pending NFL lockout to end, with intentions of receiving a camp invite from a team willing to forgive him for his past and provide a second chance.

“What happened wasn’t representative of who I am,” said Johnson-Koulianos, “I let myself get influenced by others and due to my success, there were
