There’s a new quarterback in town for the Panthers, and while some QBs seem to get rattled when their team picks up a new passer in the draft, that has not been the case for Cam Newton.
Some fans and analysts seem fixated on the idea that Newton is not a good teammate, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, Cam has been so welcoming to third-round pick Will Grier that Will’s father, Chad, took to Twitter to thank Newton for his generosity in taking Will in and welcoming him into the Panthers family.
To be fair, it’s much easier for a quarterback to welcome a draft pick at the same position when he knows that rookie isn’t coming after his job. However, Newton is doing things right if Chad Grier is going out of his way to say thanks.
Grier played 22 games of college football at East Carolina as a backup QB from 1989-1990. He never played in the NFL.
