Panthers great Cam Newton offers interesting solution to the 'Tush Push'

Carolina Panthers legend Cam Newton is probably the last quarterback who would've ever needed assistance on a sneak. But that doesn't mean he's necessarily against the extra help.

The "Tush Push," made famous (or infamous) by Super Bowl LIX Most Valuable Player Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, got a bit of pushback this past week. We learned that the Green Bay Packers, behind team president Mark Murphy, submitted a proposal to the NFL to ban the cheeky play.

A souped-up version of the quarterback sneak, the "Tush Push" tasks its offense's larger skill players with literally pushing their quarterback (by the tush) to gain a yard for either a first down or a touchdown.
