There was endless discussion about how Cam Newton might fit with the New England Patriots.
The Patriots had a need for a quarterback when Tom Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And Newton sat in free agency for months waiting for a quarterback-needy team to sign him. When Newton finally signed with the Patriots, a few media members were skeptical that Newton and Bill Belichick could coexist.
Newton addressed the elephant in the room during a candid interview with WEEI. He believes that skepticism was racially charged.
