The Patriots last year didn’t even get the full Cam Newton experience.
With COVID-19 upending the workflow of players, coaches and personnel, the New England locker room often wasn’t as full as before the pandemic. Consequently, Newton apparently wasn’t able to fully showcase his ability to command a room.
Well, that could change this season. Shortly after news broke of the Patriots re-signing Newton to a one-year, incentive-laden contract, New England safety Devin McCourty took to Twitter with a humorous reaction.
“Full locker room this year,” McCourty wrote, ” … these Cam-led conversations will (be) hilarious.”
Take a look:
Social media activity, coupled with subsequent reporting, paints a rather clear picture: Patriots players are happy about Newton’s return.
Unsurprisingly, fans and media have sung a different tune.
