Cam Newton entered the league as a quarterback who would change the position as fans knew and for the better part of his 11-year stint in the league, he did that. However, his meteoric rise to the top of the league saw him fall off the top with the same speed.
He was selected first overall by the Carolina Panthers in the 2011 NFL draft. In the nine years he spent in Carolina, Newton led them to four playoff appearances and Super Bowl 50. During the Super Bowl run, Cam Newton won the league MVP and 2015 Offensive Player of the Year.
Newton was traded to the New England Patriots, but couldn’t survive in Foxboro for more than one year. The Panthers signed him back in 2021, but after a 0-5 start, he didn’t see any playing time on the gridiron and has been a free agent ever since.

Cam Newton willing to be backup to Deshaun Watson
During Auburn’s pro day, Cam Newton auditioned for teams and showed off his skills. He said, “There ain’t 32 guys that’s better than me” which caught a lot of attention and was not the good kind. He was heavily trolled by fans and analysts alike.
Recently, Cam Newton said on his YouTube channel that he is willing to be a backup to certain quarterbacks in 2023. Among these quarterbacks, Newton also mentioned Deshaun Watson and, to everyone’s shock, praised him as well.
Newton said he admired the Browns’ quarterback as a player and person. Newton added, “I have grown to admire the person, the athlete that he is. Going through a lot of turmoil, but I believe that’s behind him.”
This statement didn’t sit right with anyone. Deshaun Watson was accused by over two dozen women of sexual misconduct and Newton finds his chatter admirable. This says a lot about Newton as well. Maybe he’s that desperate to play in the NFL once again. Here’s how fans reacted to Newton’s claim of Watson’s character.
Cam Newton is currently 33 years old and teams aren’t willing to bet on a quarterback who was at the top back in the day. There are a lot of young and talented quarterbacks in the upcoming draft. So, teams would rather have a rookie play for them rather than Newton who has been away from football for two years.
