Cam Newton took Auburn University, the SEC and the football world by storm in the fall of 2010. He led the Tigers to the national championship and won the Heisman Trophy among other national awards.

Newton was the first pick in the NFL Draft, going to the Carolina Panthers where he had nine very productive seasons. He was voted the NFL MVP in 2015 while leading the Panthers to Super Bowl 50 despite ultimately dropping the game to the Denver Broncos, 24-10. He is the all-time leading passer for Carolina with 29,041 yards and 182 TDs. Newton also rushed for 4806 yards and 58 TDs.
