One of the most talked about NFL prospects this year has been Auburn's Cam Newton.

For the last few months, sports fans have been following Newton's life—whether it's been the controversy involving his father or his victory in Arizona, when he and Auburn played for the National Championship.

The one thing about Newton is that he's overrated.

For weeks, ESPN and other sports analysts have been praising Newton, essentially saying that he will be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Well—it shouldn't happen that way.

There are several other players who either play as well as Newton or are better, and that should be considered before him. That's what you're here to see.

In the following slideshow, I will list five NFL-caliber quarterbacks from the upcoming draft, who are all better than the Auburn star.
