As an NFL starting quarterback and former first-overall pick in the draft, Cam Newton is no stranger to the spotlight. Over his career, the Carolina Panthers star has had numerous run-ins with the media, including last season.
Newton has seemingly always been a lightning rod for controversy. With staunch supporters and numerous critics analyzing his every move, it is no wonder the Panthers signal-caller attempts to keep most of his personal life from being subject to the same public opinion.
Last year, Newton made a comment during a press conference relating to a female reporter and her analysis of wide receiver routes.
