Tuesday declared Cam Newton’s return to projecting in front of reporters after the second shoulder surgery of his profession in January.
Newton had reportedly reworked his throwing motion during the rehab process, an alteration that NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported had made those within the Panthers construction”giddy.”
On Tuesday, Newton”unveiled” his tightened throwing mechanics during Carolina’s first day of mandatory minicamp. Behold:Per reporters about the scene at Charlotte, Newton threw around 30 moves during the approximately 25-minute semester to stationary targets with a more compact motion; targets weren’t moving so that Newton could focus on keeping his cries in shape, NFL Network’s Tiffany Blackmon reported.
It’s only his first practice back, and there’s no telling what Newton’s throwing motion will look like come September when the bullets are flying, but the Panthers are impressed with the quarterback’s progress regardless.
“The shoulder began to go (last season), you then started to see everything fall to the wayside. Now he’s an opportunity to go back, rework those things, do the things that he wants to do to enhance,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera told reporters. “He’s done a great job and we’re really excited about it.
“As I said, this is just the first step of several and we are actually excited about tomorrow to see just how much more he is going to do.”
The Panthers skipper added to Blackmon that Newton felt”great” after practice.
Rivera could not provide any information regarding the specifics of Newton’s reworked mechanics, joking,”I will provide you a rundown on handling .” The Panthers coach did say that his message into Cam during minicamp is to continue doing what he has been doing.
“I’d like to see him continue to follow his throwing technique,” Rivera added. “The way he throws the ball, I believe he throws a nice, tight spiral if everything is the way it is supposed to be and that’s what he is working for so we’re just eager to see him only grow and grow”
Carolina expects Newton’s return to form is twofold. A healthy Cam should cede to a successful Cam, like the person who was completing 67 percent of his passes with a 15:4 TD-INT ratio through the Panthers’ first eight matches in 2018, his very first campaign under offensive coordinator Norv Turner.
Asked if Newton was back on track to enjoying he did throughout the early fall of 2018, Rivera was authoritative.
“Surely,” the coach said. “As Norv said, I think the biggest thing moreso than anything else is that you saw the expansion, you saw the progression. He will now be in the second year in the system. Recognizing exactly what he needs to do as a quarterback, decisions he wants to make, will dictate a lot about his throwing style too.”
1 down time, 88 to proceed till Carolina kicks off against the Los Angeles Rams. For Newton, that’s 88 chances to improve and get right.
