In order for the team to have the best player combination possible on the offensive line, Newton was moved back to left guard. He was forced to get into better shape after Johnson beat him in a running race. Jimmy Johnson moved Newton to the starting right tackle position. While Emmitt Smith was the rushing leader, Nate Newton called himself “The Eating Leader.”Īlthough he became a starter at left guard in 1987, he struggled to maintain playing weight and was almost waived because of it. He had spent so much time at a local deli, that the deli had named three sandwiches after him. Newton was nicknamed “The Kitchen” because he was bigger than William “The Refrigerator” Perry on the Chicago Bears.īig Nate stood 6 foot 10, hovered around 325 pounds during the season and tipped the scale at 400 pounds in the off-season. When Jimmy Johnson took over the team in 1989, he admired Newton for his quick feet and, most of all, his size. When he was signed by Dallas, it was a dream come true for him. While everyone was rooting for the Dolphins, Newton’s heroes were Cliff Harris, Robert Newhouse and Charlie Waters on America’s Team. Growing up in Florida, Newton was an outcast.
