Patriots Cornerback Describes What He’s Seen From QB Cam Newton

A New England Patriots cornerback has gone on record about Cam Newton. Newton was signed to a 1 year contract over the off season to try to take over for Tom Brady. Most believe that he will be the starter. However, this has obviously not be set in stone as of yet.

Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson has some good things to say about the new signee. Apparently, he is bringing some good stuff to the team, even before the season has started.

“Man, I love seeing Cam, running with the ball in his hands. He’s a playmaker,” Jackson told reporters on Wednesday. “He’s a hard-working kid, and he just brings a lot of value to our team.

“Oh yeah, he has the juice everyday. He’s dancing. He’s clapping guys up. I love Cam’s energy. That’s what we need.”

Patriots Cornerback Describes What He’s Seen From QB Cam Newton

Jackson has not been the only one to have good words for Newton. Bill Belichick, along with others, have also had compliments.

“Cam’s a hardworking kid. He really is,” Belichick said.

“He’s worked very hard, I’d say, as all of our players have,” Belichick said. “I’d say that certainly for all the quarterbacks, at that position, those guys have been locked in, focused and confident in what they’re able to do and the information they have to give to the team — playcalling, adjustments, audibles, protection adjustments, things like that. That’s all going pretty well.”

Veteran runningback Rex Burkhead has also had some words for Newton.

“Newton is a big guy, that’s for sure — just his physical presence,” he said. “He’s always been a great player, just [with] his versatility — his ability to run the ball and pass as well. He’s been able to do that at a high level for many years.”

“Newtom has come in right away, head down, and tried to pick it up as quick as possible. … His first impact has been great. He’s just trying to learn as much as he can and mesh and jell with the rest of the guys.”

Newton is an interesting addition. But we are very excited to see how he turns out.
