Not only does Cam Newton have to prove he can still succeed on the field after injuries limited him the past few seasons, signing with the New England Patriots also means he has to replace a legend in Tom Brady.
Newton referred to filling in for Brady as "the elephant in the room" during a roundtable with Odell Beckham Jr. and others.
"You know who [you're] coming after? I'm like, yeah, great. What he was, what he is, is great...needs no even talking about it," Newton said, via Mike Reiss of ESPN.
