Patriots Quarterback Cam Newton Reveals Mindset Heading In 2021 Season

Cam Newton will need to be in the right mindset heading into the 2021 NFL season. The New England Patriots decided to trust him and offered him another one-year deal. The 2015 NFL MVP ignored the rumors surrounding his performance last season. He is ready to play his best football and Patriots fans know it.

The 32-year-old has been making headlines lately. He signed as a free agent prior to the 2020 NFL season after Tom Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Replacing Brady was a lot of work. Newton is a talented player but his passing game was bad. NFL analysts follow every move he makes. Is he the right replacement for TB12?

Newton’s first year with the Patriots was a failure. He looked really well at the beginning but things went down the hill following the struggle with COVID-19.

Cam Newton to use his chance in 2021

Head coach Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels seem to really like Newton. They praised his skills and offered him a two-year deal. However, Belichick selected another quarterback in the 2021 NFL Draft. Mac Jones will challenge Newton for the starting position in 2021. Will Belichick give him the lead role?

“Feed your focus. Feed it. If the hate ain’t in my focus, I don’t feed it. I feed off of it, but I don’t feed it. It’s two different things. When I sense or when I dwell on hatred, that’s the product that?s gonna come out: rage, anger,” Newton said on a recent one-on-one with quarterback coach George Whitfield Jr., as transcribed by MassLive.com. “But that’s the hatred using me, not me using the hatred. So I want to process that and make that fuel me. I don’t dwell on what a person may say, what this person may say, she say, I just use it to my advantage and I feed what I want it to feed.”

Newton isn’t really happy with his performance in 2020, and he is determined to do better next season. Patriots will enter training camp on July 29. Belichick reshaped his roster and everything looks really well.
