Former NFL MVP Cam Newton Quarrels With Mob In Viral Fight Video
Cam Newton, 34, can still run through human beings despite no longer being employed in the NFL.
Newton made waves Sunday after being spotted in a massive brawl at a 7-on-7 football camp at Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy in Atlanta, GA.
Cam was seen fighting members of the TSP (TopShelf Performance) team, an 18U National 7-on-7 football program joining Sunday's "We Ball Sports" tourney for a $5,000 prize pot.
A TSP member attempted a blind-side shot at Newton, but it only ticked off the physical behemoth.
The NFL MVP and former Carolina Panthers starter (6-foot-5, 245-lb.) went berserk as he fought off several men during a skirmish. No motives are known behind the fight, but Newton did it all without having to take off his top hat. Newton pushed several men who were crowding him with ease, using Trent Williams-like strength. The optics looked terrible for Newton but from a fighting angle, Cam held his ground and more.
WATCH:
The NFL QB's own team, C1N 7-on-7 All-Star Team, participated in the tournament. The team ended up victors, posting a celebratory video on Instagram, proving they are capable of "standing on business" if things get chippy, just like Newton.
"LOVE," Newton commented on the post, using his esoteric typeface.
Newton's last snap in the NFL came on Jan. 9, 2022 after returning to the Panthers after playing with the Patriots,. The polemic, dual-threat QB repeatedly sought opportunities to return to the league, despite his waned athleticism and accuracy.
After the viral Sunday fight, Newton should consider earning a living on defense for the remainder of his career, if there's gas in the tank, instead of QB.
