Former Patriots QB Cam Newton says he wouldn’t trade his MVP award for a Super Bowl title

Cam Newton played in Super Bowl 50, but his Panthers squad was soundly beaten by the Denver Broncos.

But, the former No. 1 overall pick did win league MVP that year after he threw for 3,837 yards and 35 touchdowns against 10 interceptions while leading Carolina to a 15-1 regular-season record.

During a recent appearance on ESPN’s First Take, Stephen A. Smith asked Newton a hypothetical question about whether he would give up his MVP trophy if it meant he could have a Super Bowl trophy instead.

Newton said he would not take the hypothetical deal.
