Patriots Captains Reacts To Having Cam Newton In Quarterback Room

August 3, 2020

The Patriots captains have since come out and given their opinions on Newton and what he brings to the team. The The New England Patriots are coming off of a big off season. They have to figure out how to replace their star quarterback Tom Brady in a relatively short amount of time. But they managed to find someone who fit the mold in Cam Newton.

The Patriots captains have since come out and given their opinions on Newton and what he brings to the team. They all agree that it will be very exciting to see how this signing translates to the field come the 2020 season.

“I think it’s going to be an exciting year for us,” center David Andrews said. “I’m excited. Especially with the guys and the talent we have in that (QB) room. Cam obviously has played a lot of football and had a successful career. I’m just excited to see what all of our quarterbacks can do. They all bring something different to the table. I think it’s just going to make for a fun year for us.”

Running back James White hasn’t gotten to see much of Newton but did have only good things to say about him.

“I haven’t gotten a chance to talk to him really,” White said. “But I know he’s very competitive, very good football player. Excited to have him in the locker room. We have three talented quarterbacks on this football team, guys that can go out and compete and help us get wins.

“So I’m excited to work out with all these guys. I’m excited to see them compete. We’re all going to be competing for playing time, so it’s going to be a lot of fun. It’s a time crunch right now, so we’re all trying to hit this as fast as possible and be on the same page.”

Head coach Bill Belichick still made it very clear that Newton will need to earn his starting job.

“That (quarterback) spot’s the same as all of the other spots on the team,” Belichick said last Friday. “We’ve got a long way to go, and we’ll see how things turn out. I can’t control how players perform. That’s up to them. We’ll give everyone an opportunity and see what happens. I don’t know.”

What do you think about what they had to say?
