In recent days, Cam Newton said that the 32 NFL quarterbacks were not better than him. Well, he thought that twice and now he's ready to be a backup anywhere.
The 2011 1st-overall pick threw for multiple NFL teams at Auburn. However, it seems like he has not received any offer yet to be a starter, reason why he has made up his mind and listed the quarterbacks his willing to backup.
Newton revealed the first name in his list is Deshaun Watson. Then, the former MVP named Lamar Jackson, Justin Fields, Tua Tagovailoa and Malik Willis as his top-5 options alongside the Browns player.
Aaron Rodgers name appeared in the 10th position. It is uncertain where will the 39-year-old play this year, so that might be the reason why Newton didn't mention him first.
