CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) A healthy Cam Newton wants to improve his accuracy heading into his fifth season with the Carolina Panthers.

The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2011 said he's looking to complete about 65 to 70 percent of his passes in 2015, which is a lofty goal for a quarterback who has never completed better than 61.7 percent of his passes in a season and only 59.5 percent for his career.

''It's not just like playing a game of Madden,'' Newton said Wednesday following practice.
