Tuesday declared Cam Newton’s return to projecting in front of reporters following the second shoulder surgery of his career in January.
Newton had reportedly reworked his throwing movement during the rehab process, an alteration that NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported had made those within the Panthers building”giddy.”
On Tuesday, Newton”unveiled” his tightened casting mechanisms during Carolina’s first day of mandatory minicamp. Behold:Per reporters about the scene in Charlotte, Newton threw around 30 passes during the approximately 25-minute semester to stationary targets with a more compact motion; targets weren’t moving that Newton could revolve around keeping his cries in form, NFL Network’s Tiffany Blackmon reported.
It is only his first practice back, and there is 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 year ), you then started to see everything fall to the wayside. Now he has an chance to go back, rework those matters, do exactly the things that he needs to do to improve,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera told reporters. “He’s done a fantastic job and we are really excited about it.
“As I said, this is just the very first step of several and we are actually excited about tomorrow to find out how much more he is going to do.”
The Panthers skipper added to Blackmon that Newton felt”great” following clinic.
Rivera couldn’t offer any information regarding the particulars of Newton’s reworked mechanics, joking,”I will provide you a rundown on handling ” The Panthers coach did say that his message to Cam through minicamp is to keep 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 shouts a nice, tight spiral if all is the way it is supposed to be and that is what he is working for so we’re just eager to see him only grow and develop.”
Carolina hopes Newton’s return to form is twofold. A healthy Cam should cede to a productive Cam, like the person who was completing 67 percent of his passes with a 15:4 TD-INT ratio during the Panthers’ first eight games in 2018, his first effort under offensive coordinator Norv Turner.
Asked if Newton was back on track to enjoying he did throughout the early autumn of 2018, Rivera was authoritative.
“Surely,” the coach said. “As Norv said, I think the greatest thing moreso than anything else would be you saw the growth, you saw the development. He will now be in the second year in the system. Recognizing exactly what he needs to perform as a quarterback, decisions he wants to make, is going to dictate a whole lot about his throwing style too.”
1 down time, 88 to go until Carolina kicks off against the Los Angeles Rams. For Newton, that’s 88 chances to enhance and get right.
