CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former Carolina star wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. took exception to comments made by ex-teammate Cam Newton, who called the Panthers "losers" before he arrived in 2011 as the franchise's No. 1 overall pick.
Newton, in an appearance on Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter's podcast, "The Travis Hunter Show," last week leading up to the Super Bowl, spoke about the pressures Hunter might face if he's selected as the top pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
"You could potentially be the first pick, but, bro, you have no way of impacting the game the way a quarterback does," Newton said on the podcast.
