Patriots Ex Cam Newton Wants NFL Comeback, Insults Competition QBs as 'Randoms'
Cam Newton is apparently in no mood to be polite.
The former New England Patriots starting quarterback has been out of football for more than a year. But he would like to get the NFL's attention on Tuesday.
So ...
"Ain't 32 m*****f******s better than me!'' Newton said in a video released Monday on Twitter, announcing that he will be throwing at Auburn's Pro Day on Tuesday, the 33-year-old former AU star and NFL MVP noting that "these randoms keep getting jobs" in the league.
"I'm seeing a lot of people toying the idea and it's official. I will be throwing at Auburn's Pro Day Tuesday," Newton said.
Newton did not play in 2022 but he did make 15 starts for the Patriots in 2020 before being released by coach Bill Belichick. Newton later ended up joining up with the team that back in 2011 drafted him No. 1 overall, the Carolina Panthers.
He appeared in eight games with Carolina in 2021, making five starts. And while his numbers as a passer weren't much - he threw for 684 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions - he also rushed for five scores, a talent he certainly showed off in New England and a dimension that always made him one of the NFL's most challenging QBs to game-plan against.
He was the starter for nine seasons in Carolina, and while his "32 m*****f******s'' (a reference of course to the number of starting QBs in the NFL) isn't very polite, it obviously suggests he'd like to work his way back on top of the NFL heap ...
Or, at least, within throwing range of the NFL heap.
