Considering all of the hype surrounding New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones in the preseason opener against the Washington Football Team, it’s easy to forget that Cam Newton actually started that game and is likely going to begin the year under center.
While Cam does have an MVP and several NFL records to his name, he is 32 years old, and the selection of Jones means that the Patriots will inevitably look to turn the page on the Newton era.
