Despite playing in the trenches, Newton was one of the more colorful players in Cowboys history. He was a very powerful player and was known from some great confrontations against Reggie White among other great players. He was one of the best guards in the NFL for over a decade. His ability to protect quarterback Troy Aikman and to run-block for running back Emmitt Smith helped the Cowboys win 3 Super Bowls in 1992, 1993, and 1995.

Only Larry Allen (10) has been to more Pro Bowls with the Cowboys on the offensive line. Newton was a six-time Pro Bowler, attending the game from 1992 through 1996 and once again in 1998. From 1992 to 1995, together with Erik Williams, Mark Tuinei, Mark Stepnoski, John Gesek and Kevin Gogan, he was part of some of the best offensive lines to play in NFL history. In 1992, because of the improved play of Erik Williams, he was moved back to left guard, in order for the team to have the best player combination possible in the offensive line. His breakout came with the arrival of Jimmy Johnson as the Cowboys coach in 1989, who eventually moved him to the starting right tackle position and forced him to get into better shape after Johnson beat him in a running race. Even though he became a starter at left guard in 1987, his struggles to maintain his playing weight almost cost him being waived. He started out as a reserve offensive lineman, and was nicknamed 'the Kitchen' because he was bigger than William 'The Refrigerator' Perry, of Chicago Bears fame.
