Timeline
Nathaniel Newton (born December 20, 1961) is an American former professional football player who was a guard in the National Football League (NFL) for the Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers.
He also was a member of the Tampa Bay Bandits of the United States Football League (USFL).
He played college football for the Florida A&M Rattlers.
Newton attended Jones High School where he played football, basketball, wrestling and shot put.
In football he played as a fullback until his junior year, when he outgrew the position and was moved to the defensive line.
Although he had Division I colleges recruiting him, he chose to remain close to home and accepted a football scholarship from Florida A&M University.
As a sophomore, he played in both the offensive and defensive line.
As a junior, he was moved to the offense full-time.
As a senior, he received All-MEAC honors playing at right tackle.
Although he was selected by the Tampa Bay Bandits in the 1983 USFL Territorial Draft, he opted to sign as an undrafted free agent with the Washington Redskins in May.
On August 29, 1983, he was waived and was injured in a serious car accident on the same night he was cut.
In February 1984, he signed with the Tampa Bay Bandits of the defunct United States Football League, who drafted him in 1983, in what the USFL called a Territorial Draft.
He played there for two years (1984 and 1985) as an offensive tackle, under head coach Steve Spurrier.
In 1986, Newton signed as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys after the USFL folded.
He started out as a reserve offensive lineman, and was nicknamed "the Kitchen" because he was bigger than William "The Refrigerator" Perry, of Chicago Bears fame.
Even though he became a starter at left guard in 1987, his struggles to maintain his playing weight almost cost him being waived.
Jimmy Johnson became the Cowboys coach in 1989 and eventually moved him to the starting right tackle position and forced him to get into better shape after Johnson beat him in a running race.
On March 21, 1991, he was arrested at an illegal dog fight which he was a major contributor to.
He himself owned 14 pit bulls.
In 1992, because of the improved play of Erik Williams, he was moved back to left guard, in order for the team to have the best player combination possible in the offensive line.
Newton was a six-time Pro Bowler, attending the game from 1992 through 1996 and once again in 1998.
Only Larry Allen (10) has been to more Pro Bowls with the Cowboys on the offensive line.
His ability to protect quarterback Troy Aikman and to run-block for running back Emmitt Smith helped the Cowboys win 3 Super Bowls in 1992, 1993, and 1995.
He was one of the best guards in the NFL for over a decade.
He was a very powerful player and was known from some great confrontations against Reggie White among other great players.
Despite playing in the trenches, Newton was one of the more colorful players in Cowboys history.
In 1994, he was inducted into the Florida A&M University Sports Hall of Fame.
In 2022, he was inducted into the Black College Football Hall of Fame.
He was not re-signed by the Cowboys after his contract expired at the end of the 1998 season.
On June 16, 1999, he signed as a free agent with the Carolina Panthers.
He played in seven games as a backup guard.
On December 14, he was placed on the injured reserve list with a torn right triceps tendon.
He wasn't re-signed after the season.
On November 4, 2001, police in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, arrested Newton after he was found to have 213 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop of Newton's white van.
Five weeks later, on December 12, 2001, Newton was again stopped in Texas and was arrested after a search of his vehicle revealed he possessed 175 pounds of marijuana.
He was convicted and sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for drug trafficking.
He has since reportedly gone straight, renouncing his past and turning his life around.
He later spoke to children involved in athletics about his past.
