However, Newman should continue to play a fundamental role in the defensive backfield. Third-year cornerback Trae Waynes has evolved into a starting-caliber corner under the guidance of Zimmer and Newman. Newman shares an NFL record with Deion Sanders for recording two interceptions in a single game at age 37.That’s second among active NFL players. Deangelo Hall leads current defenders with 43. Since joining the league in 2003, Newman has played 205 games out of a possible 224 (19 games missed in 14 years).Has recorded at least one interception in every season he’s played in the NFL (14 seasons).The 2003 fifth-overall pick was rated ninth among NFL cornerbacks by Pro Football Focus in 2016.

Newman went on to state that if things weren’t good between him and Zimmer, he wouldn’t have re-signed with the Vikings. The miscommunication did not tarnish the bond between Newman and Zimmer, who was his original position coach in Dallas in 2003. We both learned from it, and it is what it is.” ‘Maybe this guy’s character is a little different’ (or) ‘OK, he’s supposed to be a tough head coach and his players are going against him.’ We both could have saved each other (from) some negative stuff if we could have just communicated and talked about it. ”It upset me for the simple fact that there was time after the game where nothing was ever said, nothing was asked (by the media), I felt like that whole thing could have been explained and understood,” Newman said. Newman on Zimmer’s handling of the mutiny He spoke to the media about the issue before discussing it with his players.
