Cam Newton Releases Confident Statement Following Debut With Patriots

Cam Newton is ready for his Patriots debut. He has been all around the training camp proving his work. He talked about what he has seen since joining the Patriots.

“I’ve been playing in a lot of games in my life, a lot of opening days, to a lot of impactful, meaningful games, and at this particular point in my career I know how to control myself,” Newton said on Thursday.

It sounds like he is very much ready to see what the Patriots can bring to the table.

“Excitement level is on 1,000,” Newton said. “I’m excited, happy. Just to get back into the rhythm of game week — the preparation, the little nuggets that you can often forget.

He did not stop. He gave us everything that he had in mind going into game one versus the Miami Dolphins.

“You have to remember, I’ve been away from football, really, for a full year. I haven’t really had this whole process for a long time now, so being around, taking notes, watching film, finding out about different players each and every day, locking in. [I’m] excited about the game plan and more excited about just trying to get in a routine with the newness of the play calling, the coaches and even the players.”

The Bill Belichick offense is not easy to learn. Fortunately, it looks like he has it under control.

“Right now, I’m in a happy place, I feel motivated, I feel a lot of great emotions that are going on and not hindering me from becoming my best self,” Newton said. “Yet through it all, I like it most that I’m just a piece to a puzzle. I don’t want to be the puzzle. I try my best daily to prove my worth to this team and understand there are a lot of guys here who are depending on each other, and I want to be a person the team and these coaches can trust and depend on.

“Two or three months ago, I was questioning a lot of things. Right now, as I’m looking up at Gillette and the iconic logo for the Patriots like, ‘How can I lose?’”
