That is a major load to convey. However, through Newton's eyes, being a Loyalist as of now propels him to play well, paying little heed to who took snaps before him.
"There's no denying it. There's no avoiding it," Newton said. "The standard is now set. We see it each and every day from the extraordinary mentors and incredible players who are playing here at this point. So we needn't bother with no additional motivator to need to go out there and carry out our responsibility. It's an essential. It's something you've quite recently got the opportunity to do."

"At the present time, I'm in a cheerful spot, I feel spurred, I feel a ton of extraordinary feelings that are going on and not blocking me from turning into my best self," Newton said. "However through everything, I like it most that I'm only a piece to a riddle. I would prefer not to be the riddle. I make an honest effort day by day to demonstrate my value to this group and comprehend there are a ton of folks here who are relying upon one another, and I need to be an individual the group and these mentors can trust and rely upon.
"A few months prior, I was scrutinizing a great deal of things. At the present time, as I'm gazing toward Gillette and the notorious logo for the Loyalists like, 'How might I lose?'"
