At one end of Memorial Stadium on a beautiful Friday afternoon was former Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman, the current Washington corner who famously fought with Panthers quarterback Cam Newton during a training camp practice two years ago.
At the other end was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Jameis Winston, one of Newton’s NFC South quarterback rivals.
Both put their rivalries aside to participate in Newton’s third annual kickball tournament, the start of a two-day fundraising weekend for Newton’s foundation. Newton hosts a Kids Rock! gala on Saturday night at the Convention Center.
Even with a surgically repaired shoulder he’s still rehabbing, Carolina Panthers quarterback showed Friday he can still get his competitive juices flowing – and he can still draw a crowd.
