Although former Auburn football quarterback Cam Newton was not what New England was hoping for in the 2020 season, it seems Bill Belichick is extremely happy with Newton anyway.

With the Patriots’ loss of Tom Brady to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cam Newton was expected to lead New England to greatness. The QB looked pretty good at the beginning of the season, but his season regressed after he became sick with COVID-19.

Because Newton’s deal with NE was for one year only, it was widely expected that he would be playing for a different team come 2021, but today Boston.
