Cam Newton is a lot of things. New England Patriots starting quarterback; former first-round draft pick; one-time NFL MVP; world-class athlete; entrepreneur. He also is one of the most polarizing players in pro football, a reputation built primarily on media narratives in the aftermath of Super Bowl 50.
Despite Newton being nothing but a model citizen since arriving in New England — and based on reports from Carolina with the Panthers as well — he continues to face his fair share of hate. Earlier this week, the 32-year-old spoke on social media about how he deals with negative backlash.
