Nick Wright Gives His Take On Cam Newton Ignoring Questions At Logan Airport

Quarterback Cam Newton caught everyone’s attention at the very first moment he stepped at Logan Airport. The veteran quarterback landed in Boston to join the New England Patriots. His arrival made the best headlines, and local reporters rushed to the spot. They all wanted to ask questions. What did Newton do? He said a few words and that’s all. Bill Belichick will definitely be proud with his new player.

So, Newton did write a few words on Instagram. But that’s it. “Boston, the eagle has landed.”

Cam Newton left a mysterious first impression at Logan Airport

Nick Wright shared his take on Newton’s attitude and his decision not to say anything about his role with the Patriots. The Patriots hater talked about this on FOX Sports 1’s “First Things First” on Thursday. According to Wright, there’s nothing wrong in this one. Newton did what he wanted to do and that’s all.

“Yeah, I mean listen, Cam is one of the many athletes of his generation that has correctly figured out — I know if bothers a lot of the old-school media people — he doesn’t need the local media at all,” Wright said. “You know how Cam talks to us? On his Instagram page. And he does it all the time. And he asks himself, with respect, better questions, sometimes in the third person, than often local reporters or national reporters would. So, I got no problem with this whatsoever. I feel like Cam has been transparent as any athlete I can remember throughout this process and the fact he didn’t want to talk while he at the airport fresh off the plane, maybe he wanted to do a little social distancing, like I got no beef with that whatsoever — whether its The Patriot Way or The Cam Way.”

The former Carolina Panthers quarterback will have to compete for the starting position in New England. Jarrett Stidham was first in line to replace Tom Brady. Newton’s arrival changed the game plan. Head coach Bill Belichick will have to make a big move and pick his next quarterback. He likes every player on the roster, and he knows which one is the best fit for his winning formula.
