ORLANDO, Fla. -- University of Buffalo safety Mike Newton is scheduled to work out for the Philadelphia Eagles next week in Baltimore, according to a source close to the program.

Newton visited the Indianapolis Colts last week, per our source.

Newton made a strong impression on NFL scouts during his campus Pro Day workout.

Newton ran the 40-yard dash in 4.46 and 4.48 seconds, also registering a 41-inch vertical leap and a 10-foot broad jump.

A dozen teams attended the workout, including the Colts, Eagles, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs and the New Orleans Saints.

Newton, who registered 85 tackles and two interceptions last season as a second-team All-Mid-American Conference selection, has been projected as a sixth or seventh-round pick.

The 5-foot-10, 197-pounder's vertical leap was the same as USC standout Taylor Mays.

Newton also posted a 6.94 three-cone drill and a 4.17 20-yard shuttle.

His bench press numbers weren't very high with only nine repetitions of 225 pounds.

Also attending the workout: the New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders.
