The recent release of Cam Newton by the Patriots marks what could be the end of Cam Newton’s career as a starting QB in the NFL. Newton is listed at 6-5, 245 pound, and he is always a threat to run the ball. He has averaged 7.7 carries per start during his NFL career.
Newton is already, by far, the NFL career leader in total rushes among quarterbacks with 1,071 carries. He will most likely not hold that title for too long with Russell Wilson and Lamar Jackson both projected to blow past him in the near future.
