Cam Newton is entering his second season with the New England Patriots after the team signed him to another one-year deal. Newton is the presumed QB1 for the 2021 season, only one spot above his future replacement on the depth chart, former Alabama quarterback, Mac Jones.
The Patriots selected Jones at No. 15 in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft. With Tom Brady gone, the team has struggled to find an offensive identity, something the front office house Jones will develop with the team.
Today, Newton joined ESPN and was asked how he felt about the team drafting another quarterback.
He offered nothing but high praise for “Mac ‘n’ Cheese,” and understands that it’s al part of the industry.
