“Tell me how these randoms keep getting jobs,” a highly energetic Newton said in the video, per ESPN. “Don’t worry about it. I’m going to show you. I can’t wait to show you.” he added. Interestingly, his throwing abilities are still intact and sharp, to be precise. In the snippet, one could see him working out with full potential, ready to enter the gridiron.
Now it’s only a matter of time before the coaches will connect with him. There are plenty of opportunities available, especially a couple of teams that have been struggling to find a suitable contender for the No 1 spot. And fair to say, he can be a great option.
What does Newton’s NFL stat look like?
The veteran happens to be a first-overall pick from the NFL draft class of 2011. He primarily appeared for Carolina before going to New England in 2020. He completed the season with a record of 7-8 and racked up eight touchdowns against 10 interceptions. The following season he re-signed with the Panthers as a backup to Darnold and got promoted to the starting job in the second half.
Over the years, he threw for 32,382 yards recording 194 touchdowns and 123 interceptions. As a starter, he boasts a 75-68-1 record leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns as a signal-caller. It will be interesting to see whether he attracts an offer in the coming days.
