When cornerbacks Dax Hill and DJ Turner II went out with season-ending injuries, Newton was suddenly on the fast track with his first six starts coming in the last six pressure-packed games of the season. He had his up-and-down moments, but for the most part he held up when the Bengals really needed it. Hill and Turner were their two best cornerbacks, and adding Newton to a cornerback group with the revitalized Cam Taylor-Britt gives them an intriguing young room.
