“I feel like a rookie again. I’m having fun, feeling good and the thrill is still there, man,” Newton said. “I’m blessed, just knowing that, man, you just got to sometimes put things into perspective. Just two or three weeks, two or three days ago, grown men cried, you know what I’m saying? People getting unexpectedly cut, released, traded or whatever. I’m just lucky to be a part of a fan base and organization for the same nine years. A lot of people can’t say the same.”
In addition to his lengthy rehab, Newton is chalking up his recovery from his shoulder and foot injuries to a change in diet.
“Of course, vegan strong. That helps a lot,” Newton said. “I’ve been vegan all year. And I don’t think I’m going back. Feel good. I recover well and that’s what it’s pretty much all about.”
It’s quite possible Newton is trying to talk himself into feeling 100% or keeping positive thoughts in his mind as a way of avoiding injury this season. On the other hand, if he is actually feeling like a rookie again the league is in big trouble.
