There’s little doubt that when healthy, newly-minted New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton is one of the most explosive players in the NFL. The problem is, he hasn’t had a clean bill of health recently. Over the past couple of years, his talent has been marred by injuries.
Newton’s first major injury was on August 22, 2014. He suffered a fractured rib in a preseason game, causing him to miss the first game of the regular season. At the tail end of the 2014 season, he fractured his lower back in a car accident.
