Cam Newton is determined to make a return to the NFL, but he can't help but wonder why an NFL team hasn't picked him up yet. In a candid conversation with Robert Griffin III on Thursday's episode of RG and The Ones, the former Carolina Panthers great raised questions about his absence from the league.
Newton confidently stated that he believes he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and that he would be open to backing up a young quarterback. He provided a list of players he'd be willing to support, including rookies like Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, and Anthony Richardson.
However, Newton suggests that his unique personality and strong rapport with fellow players may be holding him back from being picked up. He even went so far as to compare his situation to that of Colin Kaepernick, noting that teams may be hesitant to bring him in to back up a young quarterback due to the potential disruption it might bring.
The 34-year-old quarterback also noted that criticism about his attire and alleged self-centeredness were largely unfounded, as they were coming from people who didn't actually know him. Despite the current limbo he finds himself in, Newton is still having fun with it. He joked that he is now a "YouTuber" and is taking his time off in stride.
At the end of the day, one thing is clear: Cam Newton is not ready to hang up his cleats just yet. He is confident in his abilities as a quarterback and is determined to make a comeback.
