We were all witnesses 10 years ago when Cam Newton took the sports world by storm. His infectious smile glistened as he torched defenses en route to a 50-touchdown season, eventually winning him the Heisman Memorial trophy. It was one of the most impressive college football seasons in history.

Five years later, not only did Newton have one of the most spectacular single seasons in college football but also had one of the best seasons in NFL history. Newton carried his Carolina Panthers to a 15-1 record making the Super Bowl in 2015 while also winning league MVP.
