Since joining the New England Patriots in July, Cam Newton has raved about his newly forged working relationships with Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels.
He also appreciates the bond he’s witnessed between the two Patriots coaches.
“It’s kind of like a father-son relationship,” Newton said Thursday in a video conference. “I know I may be speaking out of turn, but it’s so empowering just to see Coach Belichick and Coach McDaniels’ relationship. I know from what I have seen, Coach Belichick has so much trust in Coach McDaniels and vice versa.
“Obviously, if you’re going to be under someone’s tutelage, why not it be that specific person in Coach Bill.
