New England Patriots: 3 players who benefit from Cam Newton signing

James White

James White was already a great player when he had Brady as his quarterback, but now he could be even better. Now that Newton is a Patriot there seems to be a lot more opportunities for White.

Of course, White will be a great part of the passing game. With Newton on the roster, he has a capable QB making decisions on what to do.

Also Newton is likely to rely on White a lot. He did the same with Christian McCaffery in Carolina.

There’s also the fact that the skillset lends itself to White getting more usage. If the Patriots want to install a more RPO inspired offense it would make sense for White to get more playing time. This would allow White to be a target on any play.

The same can’t be said for Sony Michel. If Newton chooses to pass the ball Michel wouldn’t be the same caliber of a player in the passing game. This means a lot more snaps for White.

So now that Newton is on the roster the Patriots offense seems to be rebuilt and retooled for success. 2020 has a lot of potential and the Patriots could be a team to watch when the NFL season begins.
