New England Patriots Have Named Their Starting Quarterback

The Patriots have named their starting quarterback. Cam Newton has officially been named the starter for week 1 of the 2020 season. The New England Patriots have been trying to get back on track ever since the 2019 season ended. After Tom Brady decided to take his talents to Tamp Bay, the team did not really know what they were going to do at the QB position.

But they have finally decided that Cam Newton is going to be the starter, at least for week one. This is what most people around the Patriots thought was going to happen but it was not confirmed. Apparently, Cam Newton has been making quite the impact on the Patriot’s training camp.

He has been turning heads left and right. From the sounds of it, he is a very hard worker and that bodes well for his success in a Patriots uniform. We all know Bill Belichick expects the best from his players.

New England Patriots Have Named Their Starting Quarterback

Here is what Belichick had to say about Newton earlier on in the training camp.

“I can see why he had the kind of success he had at Auburn and Carolina,” Belichick said previously. “Talking to people who were with him there, the things they said about him at Auburn and at Carolina from a decade ago or two to three years ago or even last year, it’s all the same and it showed up here. He’s an extremely hard worker. Nobody works harder than Cam does. He’s here early, he stays late, and he works very hard.”

“Some players like to work on things they’re good at, like, if you’re strong on the bench press you just throw more weight on the bench,” Belichick said. “But Cam works on things he’s not as good at and tries to improve on a daily basis. That’s something I really respect about him. That’s not easy for players or really any of us to do. We’ll get something we’re not really good at — or it’s not our strength — and you spend extra time on it when our natural tendency is to do things we’re good at.”

Belichick was not the only person that had praise for Newton Matthew Slater also had some nice words for him.

“I think he’s a very thoughtful person,” captain Matthew Slater said. “Cam has been a joy to be around. He brings positive energy to work every day. He loves his job. He’s just a fun guy to be around. I’m glad that we’ve gotten a chance to spend some time with him as a teammate and really get to know him. There’s always going to be outside noise as to what type of person he is, but all we can do is judge people off of our experiences with them.”
