Carolina Panthers’ Cam Newton has won a number of awards in his NFL career, including MVP, but now may be the league’s new punching bag. This title previously went to Tony Romo but with his retirement this past week, NFL.com’s Dan Hanzus believes Newton is the favorite.
The former first overall pick has been the topic of debate for years now and it reached a fever pitch two years ago during the Panthers’ Super Bowl run. The Panthers’ quarterback celebrations, like the Dab, brought fans to writing letters to the Charlotte Observer questioning his behavior.
