Cam Newton will have an opportunity to redeem himself this year. Last season, Newton came into the New England Patriots franchise to take over starting quarterback responsibilities.

That role was left vacant after Tom Brady left the Patriots to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Newton struggled with injuries, COVID-19, and adapting to a whole new system. However, he gets the chance to go one more time next season.

One person who has the utmost confidence in Cam Newton is Bill Belichick. He spoke about Cam Newton and how good he is looking right now. Belichick praised Newton’s consistency and noted how committed he has been to the team so far.

He is a huge fan of the professionalism that Newton has been exhibiting during his stint with the Patriots. And he expects Newton to continue on the same path as they go forward into the new season.

“So Cam’s very professional and I’m sure that he’ll continue to work hard and do his best out there like he’s always done for us. It’s never been anything but that from the day he got here.”
