New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton sees the 2021 season as time to "put up or shut up," as he told ESPN Radio's Keyshawn, JWill & Zubin (h/t Mike Reiss of ESPN).
Newton is entering his second season with the Patriots after a disappointing first year in which he totaled just eight touchdown passes with 10 interceptions in 15 games. The team finished 7-9 to break a streak of 19 straight seasons with a winning record.
The 32-year-old got a new one-year deal this offseason, but he now has to live up to expectations.
