He was one of the hardest workers on our team. “I had this perception from the outside coming in here who I thought he was. “The one thing I learned about him is how unselfish he is and what a team guy he is,” he added.

But even with the franchise likely to give the young third-rounder his chance this season, Fitterer said he believes Newton would still be a fine addition given his nature as a leader and competitor. The competition-as it currently stands-includes presumed starter Sam Darnold, veteran P.J. The more competition we have at that position the better.” We are going to have a discussion at some point but we’re just not quite there yet, but we’ll see how it goes.

But that doesn’t mean the two sides have stopped acknowledging one another. They're great on their teams, so I'm ready to get on my team and get in my system and become great just like those guys.May 11 passed without the Carolina Panthers wishing Cam Newton, at least publicly, a happy birthday. “Just watching different films, watching Joe Burrow, watching Justin Herbert, watching Josh Allen last year with my coaches – I feel like I'm able to do those same things that those guys are able to do.

Depending on how he fares in his remaining interviews, Richardson could remarkably be dashing up the boards - and perhaps could be the first overall pick.
