CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- This isn’t quarterback Cam Newton's first rodeo when it comes to being on the cover of Sports Illustrated as he and the Carolina Panthers appeared on Tuesday.
Lights, Cam, ACTION! @CameronNewton (and @trai_turner!) grace the latest cover of @SInow! #KeepPounding pic.twitter.com/GSVFmJjLTt
Newton was on the cover twice in 2010 while leading Auburn to an undefeated season and national championship.
Many of Newton’s teammates haven’t been a part of such notoriety. The Panthers haven’t been on the cover since the magazine’s 2005 preview featuring quarterback Jake Delhomme.
