Cam Newton Responds To Appreciated Praise From Lamar Jackson

The Baltimore Ravens will travel to New England for Sunday’s match and Cam Newton has received words of praise from Lamar Jackson.

Week 10 is important for the Patriots and they will try to win the game. Jackson praised Newton’s talent Wednesday and used words like “Superman.” Is Newton really the OG?

Jackson has been watching Newton and his game for quite some time and he is more than impressed.

The same applies to Newton. The 2015 NFL MVP explained how Jackson affected him.

“Man, my boy Lamar got a gift not many of human beings got,” Newton told media members in Thursday’s video conference. “And just to see him take off, I’m a fan of the game, and if I’m watching Baltimore, obviously I’m watching to see what the MVP is going to do. So, you know, I just respect his game so much.

“And for him to evolve, you know, people don’t realize they just see you running around, and I think for a long time and still to date, a lot of people don’t respect the art of being able to run, protect yourself and to attack the defense in as many different ways — not taking anything against anyone who cannot or does not decide to run — but for him to be as successful and make the impact, the big splash in this game, not many people have done it.”

Newton also said that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick and Jackson are the two best running backs. He doesn’t see himself in “that stratosphere.”

The Patriots starting quarterback seems to be forgetting the reasons head coach Bill Belichick had to get him. New England needed Newton on the field. He has the right skills and experience, and that run game sure comes like a bonus for the Patriots. Tom Brady wasn’t really into the running game, and Newton is pretty great at it.

New England lost four straight games and won the match against the Jets. This is a small ray of hope for Belichick and his players. Some NFL analysts wrote them off in terms of making the playoffs.
