FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Call it a mantra. Call it a simple reminder. But Cam Newton has a note he has been reminding himself of every day since last season.
“Pre-snap comfort will help post-snap results for me,” Newton said of what he repeats to himself daily.
That’s because for Newton, back with the Patriots on a one-year deal, the coming season is all about him wholeheartedly embracing a second chance to make the impression he feels he was never fully equipped to make in 2020.
