Fox Sports talk show host Shannon Sharpe, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, says the emerging feud between Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin is about a lot more than football.
It began last week when Benjamin did an interview with the Athletic that was critical of Newton’s quarterbacking. Newton said on Instagram he wouldn’t respond publicly. But he did approach Benjamin before Thursday’s NFL exhibition between the Bills and Panthers in Buffalo.
Carolina won 28-23. Before the game, Newton tried to discuss the situation. Benjamin tried to walk away, saying after the game that he’s trying to put it all behind him.
