Cam Newton talks life in the NFL, 'Deflategate' with Australian radio

Cam Newton has gone Down Under. Be still my beating heart. The Panthers' quarterback spent some time in Melbourne this week and had a chance to attend an Aussie Rules game. Newton sat down with Triple M radio to answer a whole host of questions.

Newton is in Australia as part of his agreement with Gatorade and learned that Aussie footballs are pretty slippery. Cam was also asked about this concept of "playing smarter" and balancing that against using his natural tools. That will be an interesting concept moving forward. Weighing his physicality and ability to impose his will on defenders while also keeping himself healthy.
