We’re not talking about the Auburn football faithful. No, after Cam Newton won a Heisman Trophy, led the Tigers to the 2010 BCS National Championship and later had his statue added to the Heisman row outside Jordan-Hare Stadium, fans of opposing schools were adamant:
Cam would never set foot on the Auburn campus again.
He was one-and-done, got what he needed from Auburn and moved on.
Cam Newton now is in his eighth season with the Carolina Panthers, who drafted him No. 1 overall in 2011. He’s won an NFL MVP award and led the Panthers to a Super Bowl.
