Can Belichick have the same type of impact on Chapel Hill?
Former Panthers and Patriots quarterback Cam Newton knows all about playing football under Bill Belichick. After New England let Tom Brady walk at the end of the 2019 season, the former NFL MVP spent 2020 in Foxborough as the team's signal caller."Bill Belichick going to Chapel Hill is the best thing for Chapel Hill since Michael Jordan," said Newton. "And I didn't blink.
While comparing Belichick's arrival to Jordan, Newton also relayed his hesitation with the Tar Heels brining him in as their next head coach. "This is one of my main concerns," he continued. "Can Bill Belichick adapt? Being able to say, 'Okay, how can I teach this younger generation how to prepare? How can I teach this younger generation how to take care of their body? How can I teach the younger generation all these intricate tools for not just football—but life?'"
"I went to New England and I saw this first-hand," Newton explained of his time with the Patriots. "It was an internship, a paid internship, and I'm seeing Bill Belichick on a day-to-day basis... the thing about Bill Belichick that a lot of people don't understand is, he is a machine like you would expect him to be. On the treadmill, constantly watching film. He's not the most—'Hey guys!' —that's not him.
