Patriots Beat Writer Delivers Poignant Message to Cam Newton

The New England Patriots will soon put an end to their first Tom Brady-less season. Head coach Bill Belichick used the 2015 NFL MVP as a replacement for the greatest football player of all time. Things didn’t work really well for the head coach and his team. A Patriots beat writer talked about veteran quarterback Cam Newton and his situation in New England.

Newton had to play his best football in order to help the Patriots win more games. He did have a good game, but didn’t reach his full potential.

Mike Reiss talked about Newton’s role in New England and actually acknowledged his professionalism and availability.

Media members usually criticize athletes and sometimes bring out their ugly side. It’s never personal and Reiss a real professional in this aspect. Reiss talked to Newton in his Christmas Eve press session. He thanked the veteran for everything he did on the field in one of the worst seasons in team history.

Patriots writer thanks Cam Newton

Newton was pretty open during his interview and offered a completely different approach when compared to other athletes.

The NFL is dealing with a global pandemic, and Tom Brady plays with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Bill Belichick is not the most talkative guy. Newton made things a little brighter. Without him, NFL fans would have been really bored.

The veteran is one of the most polarizing athletes in the world of sports. New England was a fun team to cover this season. His openness came like a real refreshment in these dark days.

Winning games is just part of the world of sports. Fans can’t wait to watch postgame interviews and listen to players talk about their personal life.

Newton didn’t have his best season in the NFL, but he would definitely love to get one more chance. New England will have to address the quarterback situation. Will coach Belichick give Newton another chance? Newton is a talented player and his run game was of great help for the team. Maybe the Patriots coaching staff would love to have him back on the field in 2021.
