Does anyone have more fun at practice than Cam Newton?
The more you watch the New England Patriots quarterback, the more you can see the joy he gets out of the sport. It doesn’t matter if he’s making a big play or his teammates do something special. Newton will cheer, dap-up and flash a big smile if the Patriots offense is doing good things.
And on Wednesday, the offense did a lot of good things. Newton had his best practice of minicamp — and of all the spring practices that were open to the media. Newton didn’t exactly wow with a handful of big throws, but he was methodical in moving the ball. He was quick to make decisions, and he was very aware in managing the offense through situational drills (which worked on 2-minute clock management and transitions from offense to the field goal unit). It was a very solid practice, one where Newton was the best quarterback on the field — and one where rookie Mac Jones struggled.
