Cam Newton only played one full season with the Patriots, but it didn’t take long for the former NFL MVP to feel like a true Bostonian.

During the latest episode of his “4th & 1” YouTube show, Newton discussed his tenure with the Patriots, and admitted that his hectic schedule as the team’s QB weighed on him.

“My workload in a given day was ridiculous,” Newton said “I would leave the facility around like 8 and 9 p.m. and be back in the facility at like, 4:35.”

The taxing prep work and practice schedules that were hallmarks during Tom Brady’s tenure in New England carried over with Newton’s short reign as the team’s QB1.
