Cam Newton on the Patriots could be ‘terrifying,’ says Jets player

Last year, the Patriots had Jets quarterback Sam Darnold "seeing ghosts" during a lopsided loss. This year, it could be Halloween all season long — and not just for New England's long-suffering rivals in New York.

That's according to none other than a member of the Jets, who declared recently that the thought of Cam Newton teaming up with Bill Belichick was "terrifying."

In fairness, offensive lineman Greg Van Roten, who was a Panthers teammate of Newton's for three years before signing with the Jets in March, meant it more as a lighthearted compliment to the veteran quarterback than as an earnest admission of fear.
