FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Cam Newton said he is still getting to know rookie Mac Jones as they compete for the New England Patriots starting quarterback job, but in sharing his first impression, he cited a phrase made famous by late ESPN SportsCenter anchor Stuart Scott.
"Cool, like the other side of the pillow," Newton said Friday. "You never know when he's really down on himself. You don't really necessarily know when he's up, either. He's real cool."
Newton, 32, said that Jones has even surprised him with his knowledge of hip-hop.
