Newton remains a relative unknown, though, and arguably the best way to help either quarterback would be to establish a quality run game. Currently, New England boasts a trio of running backs Sony Michel, James White and Rex Burkhead. That group could be effective, but none are true home-run threats like Raheem Mostert. White is the most effective in the receiving game, while Michel was much more the runner.
No one within that group truly possesses the dual-threat capability of Raheem Mostert.
It’s likely Mostert would develop a quick rapport with Newton, who’d utilize him in short-area passing for likable results, while Mostert could take plenty of pressure off Newton by being more than effective in the ground game.
