Patriots' Bill Belichick gives analysis of Cam Newton as a lacrosse player

We’re less than 48 hours removed from the start of NFL training camps and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is finally sharing more of his thoughts on Cam Newton.

On Saturday, Belichick appeared as a special guest during NBC Sports’ telecast of the Premier Lacrosse League game between the Redwoods and Whipsnakes when he was asked what lacrosse position Cam Newton would play. Belichick said:

“Cam Newton looks like Myles Jones to me. He’s fast. He’s big. He’d be a tough guy to match up against. He could run by them. He could run through those stick checks, and he’d have a tough — with the stick work — a tough overhand shot, so I think those tall, long guys really have a big advantage of being able to change the angle of their shots and still be able to run through some guys.
