CHARLOTTE – A story about stretching in the days leading up the 2017 regular season opener? You better believe it, and you can thank quarterback for the material.

“(They) do an unbelievable job preparing their bodies,” Newton said at his press conference Tuesday. “I mean like 30 minutes before practice stretch, muscle activation, hot tub-cold tub-hot tub-cold tub, contrast, stretching, more stretching. It’s just ridiculous to see Christian on one side of the field and see Greg on the other side of the field.
