Cam Newton is more than just a quarterback. He’s an entertainer and icon, remember?
The 32-year-old has certainly delivered on that 10-year old prophecy, as evidenced by what’s been a roller coaster of a football career void of any boring moments. So get ready for some more memories, because Cam certainly is.
Shortly following the announcement of his one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers on Thursday—Newton’s production company, Iconic Saga, released a short, but sweet announcement in true Ace Boogie fashion. Grab a tissue, everyone.
The vignette plays to the track of “Coming Home” by Dirty Money . . . because why wouldn’t it?
Cam comes home to a reeling 4-5 Panthers squad who has repeatedly squandered their options at quarterback. Their most recent flub, Sam Darnold, is set to miss around four to six weeks with a right shoulder fracture as comes off a horrific five-game stretch.
While many fans would love to see Newton under center as soon as possible, a start this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals seems like a bit of a stretch. But that might be fine, as it sets the stage for a real homecoming in Week 11 at Bank of America Stadium.
