Newton would sign with the Dallas Cowboys in 1986, and in ’87, he was starting at Left Guard, which he did for three years before moving to Right Tackle for two seasons. In 1992, he was back at Left Guard, but his skill had improved and he went to five of the next seven Pro Bowls while helping Dallas win three Super Bowls. Newton would be named a First Team All-Pro in both 1994 & 1995.
He played for Dallas for all of his career, except for his final one, which was as a Carolina Panther.

Playing his college ball at Florida A&M (well before they were an FBS school), Nate Newton did not receive a lot of attention from the NFL, and he had to settle for signing with the Washington Redskins as a Free Agent. He didn't make the team, but he found a home in the USFL with the Tampa Bay Bandits. In the upstart league, Newton shined, and following the folding of the league, he was named to the all-time USFL Team.
