Rob Ninkovich made a bold claim by reporting that Mac Jones was teaching Cam Newton the New England Patriots’ playbook.
It sounded difficult to believe considering Newton’s time with the Patriots in 2020 and Jones’ focus on learning the playbook himself ahead of his rookie year. Newton, in a tell-all video that was released on Friday, discussed a slew of different topics following his time with the team — including Ninkovich’s report.
Newton’s father, Cecil, asked him if Jones was teaching him.
“No,” Newton said, transcribed by NESN’s Zack Cox.
