Cam Newton needed a completion to close out a tough 7-on-7 segment during a Patriots minicamp in which he’d struggled to find the touch on his deep ball.
As he scanned the field, he saw Hunter Henry breaking open late on a drag route against a linebacker and hit the tight end with a perfectly placed strike to end the drill.
The completion, albeit in a minicamp setting without pads or a pass rush, highlighted a growing chemistry between Newton and one of his newest weapons.
The presumptive starter targeted Henry seven times in “competitive” minicamp segments last week, tying with running back James White for the highest number on the team.
