Newton previously reflected on fatherhood in a poem he wrote for The Players’ Tribune to his son Chosen after he was born. The NFL player advised his son to “be better” than himself and to “be whatever you want to be.”
The athlete also told his older son to protect his younger sister and his mother, calling Proctor “the best thing to happen to me.”
In 2017, Newton told Yahoo Sports that fatherhood “has been great,” joking, “I’m not as bad as I thought I was!”
“It’s something that a person can never really prep for, but for me I just want to be available, and it’s helped me be a better man,” he added.
