For long-term harmony, Cam Newton's mechanics must stay in tune

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Much was made last week of Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton throwing for the first time since having shoulder surgery in January.

It’s only natural, as the team's hopes for success are tied to Newton’s right arm.

But it’s what the 2015 NFL MVP has done with his feet and upper body since rehab from his surgery that will have the biggest impact on his future. It’s an extension of a process that began last year to tweak Newton’s mechanics to put less stress on the shoulder and improve his accuracy.
