3. Cam Newton, quarterback, Carolina Panthers

Give Cam another six or seven productive years and another Super Bowl appearance, and he’ll likely be ranked higher on this list. Currently, Newton has three Pro Bowl appearances and was named to the 2015 All Pro team, when he was also the league most valuable player. In six seasons, he’s thrown for 136 touchdowns and 21,772 yards and rushed for 3566 yards and 48 touchdowns. A down season in 2016 left him frustrated, but Newton has plenty of time left in his career to rack up more Pro Bowls.

Newton spent just one year at Auburn, but what a season it was. He led the Tigers to its first national championship since 1957 and won the third Heisman Trophy at Auburn, earning him a statue outside Jordan-Hare Stadium. Newton passed for 2,854 yards and 30 touchdowns and rushed for 1,473 yards and 20 touchdowns during the 2010 season. Oh, and he also caught a touchdown pass.
