He didn&#8217;t win much as he was near the end of his career but the former quarterback did reach new heights as the latest addition to the &#8220;First Take&#8221; team.<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"ad-container\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1589376019464-0\" class=\"\" data-google-query-id=\"CMnl_puih4kDFbpNCAQd29siOg\">\n<p data-idx=\"1\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_1\">In his debut on Friday, one of Newton&#8217;s first takes was to write off Kansas City&#8217;s Super Bowl odds when asked if the Chiefs would make it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZyX6JtdjZzY\" width=\"660\" height=\"370\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"infinite-content-ad-3\" class=\"ad-container\">\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;[0:37] No. And the only reason, is it&#8217;s a little skeptical at that receiver position,&#8221; Newton said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think they have enough talent as of yet to win a deep playoff push with the receivers that they do have.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline top\" data-tab=\"top\" data-imp-id=\"element_top\">\n<p data-idx=\"2\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_2\">The Chiefs are pursuing their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance and win.

Rashee Rice appears to be out for the season due to injury. Hollywood Brown is set to return soon but he has yet to prove himself in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0uniform.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"4\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_4\">Travis Kelce has ticked up in recent weeks but he alone hasn&#8217;t been able to get the tide turned on offense like in past years. At running back, the team has been forced into the backup pool with Isiah Pacheco battling an injury.<\/p>\n<h2>Did Cam Newton ever face Patrick Mahomes?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Cam Newton at Detroit Pistons v Atlanta Hawks - Source: Getty\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg 1920w\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/10\/7f3d2-17286677203443-1920.jpg?w=640\" \/><figcaption>Cam Newton at Detroit Pistons v Atlanta Hawks &#8211; Source: Getty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-idx=\"5\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/cam-newton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Cam Newton<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/patrick-mahomes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Patrick Mahomes<\/a>\u00a0shared the league for three seasons but they did not share the field in the only opportunity Newton had to face him.
