CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cam Newton often talks about the "swag, sauce, goo, drip" that is part of his persona.
It came up again on Tuesday when the Carolina Panthers quarterback was asked about how he looks more natural sliding now to take fewer hits than he did a few years ago.
It also came up when he was asked about Houston Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Newton has followed Watson's career since Watson was a junior in high school in Gainesville, Georgia, and played in the 7-on-7 football tournament the 2015 NFL MVP holds every summer.
