CHARLOTTE, N .C. – Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule says he wants full Cam Newton, not Cam Newton lite.
Nobody knows what that is better than former Carolina coach Ron Rivera, who on Sunday returns to Bank of America Stadium (1 p.m. ET, Fox) as the coach of the Washington Football Team, with Newton expected to make his first start in his second stint with the Panthers.
From “Superman’’ and “dabbing’’ celebrations, to outrageous postgame outfits to an ability to keep defensive coordinators up nights scheming for arguably the best dual-threat quarterback in NFL history, Rivera has seen it all with Newton.
