The arrival of quarterback Cam Newton should be a welcome sight for New England Patriots running back Sony Michel and receiver N’Keal Harry, a pair of first-round draft choices whose careers are headed on a negative trajectory.
It’s not that they’re draft busts — yet. But they’re starting to flirt with that label. Perhaps Newton can reverse that negative trajectory.
Michel’s powerful running helped New England get to Super Bowl LIII, where the team beat the Los Angeles Rams, 13-3. Michel, a 2018 first-round pick, deserves credit for his 336 yards and six touchdowns in the three postseason games after the 2018 season.
