About Jer Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton is a defensive player the Washington Commanders grabbed in the second round of the 2024 draft, and they're betting big on his upside. He spent four years at Illinois getting better each season, consistently adding more sacks to his resume year after year. That kind of steady improvement is exactly what NFL teams love to see, and it's why Washington felt comfortable using such a high pick on him. Since he was drafted in 2024, you won't find any true rookie cards yet, but his early cards should have some nice value once those hit the market. Look for numbered parallels and autographs when his rookie cards do drop, those will be the ones to chase.
Newton steadily made strides in college, boosting his number of sacks in each of his four standout seasons at the University of Illinois. The Commanders hope to see that improvement continue into the next level and used a second-round pick on the rising star in 2024.

Dad’s Take on Jer Zhan Newton
*adjusts glasses and squints at card* Look at this kid posing like he's already made it to the Hall of Fame when he's barely figured out how to tuck in his jersey properly! Four years at Illinois and they couldn't teach him to look intimidating instead of like he's asking permission to sack the quarterback? That prismatic background is flashier than his college highlight reel – at least the shiny card might distract opponents better than his actual pass rush moves!
