"There's a little brother that's looking at him and other children who look up at Cameron as a role model," she said. "I'm a college graduate and the pride I felt when I got my certificate is something I wanted him to experience," she said after he graduated last month. "I just wanted him to have that experience of learning." ![]() It really seals the deal," Jackie Newton said.Ĭam Newton said he returned to Auburn to fulfill the promise he made to his mother, who insisted he finish what he started. "Getting a college degree says something about an individual. Jackie Newton, Cam's mother, can't put a price on what that meant to her.

That division happened during the final cuts leading up to the 2021 campaign, when head coach Bill Belchick handed over the reins to rookie Mac Jones. “I had it with New England, but we went different ways. “What if I told you since Carolina in 2019 was the last time I had a full offseason-meaning understand the playbook, take on the playbook, play a season,” he said in his new YouTube video.
