FOXBOROUGH — Football players rely on routines, and Cam Newton has incorporated something into his daily ritual that he believes could make a big difference this season.
“I have a constant note that I remind myself each and every day is ‘presnap comfort will help postsnap results for me,’ ” the Patriots quarterback said Tuesday following Day 2 of minicamp.
Newton was addressing whether he believed his struggles last season were more mechanical or more a byproduct of trying to play catch-up in a new system. He didn’t sign until late June, and COVID restrictions during training camp — and a bout with the virus early in the season — resulted in adversities.
