Auburn in the NFL: Cam Newton looking good, Kerryon Johnson battling for No. 1

QB Cam Newton, Carolina
Last, but not least.
If there’s one thing Cam Newton never will be accused of it’s having fun on the football field.
He looks fantastic and sets the fashion standard for the Panthers. After throwing for 3,000-plus yards for the seventh consecutive season and rushing for 754 yards –the most in his career — last season, he looks primed to take the Panthers to the playoffs and possibly more in 2018.
He’s been sharp, according to early reports out of Panthers training camp at Wofford in Spartanburg, S.C.
That’s to be expected. He’s also having fun with fans. That’s also to be expected.
Here are a few highlights from Carolina’s first week.
The first video is fitting: Cam and Bo reunited. Sort of …
And here’s Cam interacting with fans in Spartanburg.

Yes, that’s the Cam we quickly grew to love when he was in Auburn, leading the Tigers to their last national title in 2010 and becoming Auburn’s third Heisman Trophy winner.
