Cam Newton “Uneasy About Playing for Bill Belichick!”
Bill Belichick’s reputation for being hard on players supersedes him, and Cam Newton was well aware of that prior to signing with the New England Patriots.
Despite his reservations, the former Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton appears to be happy with his decision. Read on to learn why Cam Newton was Uneasy playing for Bill Belichick…
CelebNSports247.com reports Cam Newton admitted he was Uneasy playing for Bill Belichick in an interview on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” Monday morning.
Newton admitted he was a bit uneasy about the idea of playing for Belichick.
Cam Newton went on to say that the two are a “match made in heaven.”
He explains:
I didn’t know what to expect. Just the same questions that a lot of people and talk shows, gossip talk, barbershop talk, chit-chatter, text messages — they wanted to know, I wanted to know as well.
Cam adds:
I wanted to know is it real what they say about Belichick? Just, I didn’t know. Honestly, it’s been a match made in heaven for me just knowing I am at a place where everything is pulling in the same direction and everything is geared towards winning.
Newton said any previous opinions he had about Belichick changed the first time he had a conversation with the future Hall of Famer.
Cam said:
I think every type of stereotype that I had about Coach Belichick changed the day I talked to him. You look at the players he’s had over the years — obviously the Brady’s, the Randy Moss’, the Corey Dillon’s, the Lawrence Taylor’s, and the list goes on, Tedy Bruschi, it’s no wonder why he’s sustained success over the years.
If he was able to accomplish those things with those players, it made a lot of sense. The time when I spoke to him and obviously meeting with him face-to-face, it removed any type of doubt, if I even had any. It’s just exciting to play for a person like that.
The only thing that will matter is the results, but the feeling appears to be mutual.
Belichick has had nothing but positive things to say about Newton throughout the offseason.
Newton has been named the starter for Week 1, though Belichick will not admit that publicly.
