Cam Newton has a list of quarterbacks he’d tolerate backing up, and Mac Jones isn’t on it

Cam Newton is campaigning for an NFL comeback.

The former Panthers and Patriots quarterback said he feels that there aren’t 32 NFL quarterbacks who are better than him, when he announced that he would throw at Auburn’s Pro Day last month.

During a recent episode of his podcast this week, Newton said he still feels that way, but is willing to return to the league as a backup because he hasn’t gotten the job offers he wants.

The former MVP wouldn’t be a backup for just anybody, of course.

He listed a dozen names of quarterbacks who he’d be willing to sit on the bench behind.
