Key Facts
Meet Super Cam!
Imagine a superhero on a football field! That was Cam Newton. He was a quarterback, which means he was the boss of the team, throwing the ball to his teammates. But Cam was special because he was also super fast and strong, and he loved to run with the ball himself! He played for the Carolina Panthers and was so good, they called him 'Super Cam'.
From College Star to NFL Champ!
Before becoming a pro, Cam was a star at Auburn University. He was so amazing that he won a super-duper award called the Heisman Trophy, which is like winning the biggest trophy in college football! Then, he got picked first overall in the NFL draft, meaning the Carolina Panthers wanted him more than anyone else. He was ready to show the world what he could do!
Running Like a Cheetah, Throwing Like a Rocket!
Cam Newton broke all sorts of records! He ran the ball more than almost any other quarterback ever, scoring tons of touchdowns with his legs. He also threw for a lot of yards, which means he passed the ball really far. He was the first rookie quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards and run for 10 touchdowns in one season. That's like scoring 10 goals AND kicking a home run in the same game!
Leading the Panthers to Glory!
In 2015, Cam had his best year ever! He was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP), which means he was the best player in the whole league. He led the Carolina Panthers to win almost every game, and they even made it to the Super Bowl, the biggest game of the year! He was the first Black quarterback to win MVP all by himself.
