AUBURN, Ala. -- Cam Newton knows exactly what he's going to do with Auburn diploma.

"I'm going to put it right above my mom's door so she knows her words were not in vain."

Newton made a promise to his mom, Jackie, that he would graduate from college, even before he arrived as Auburn's quarterback in 2010, and has been true to his word. He'll graduate Saturday, though he won't walk across the stage because he says he doesn't want to the focal point and detract from the accomplishment of others.
