Cam Newton latest athlete to return to franchise that made them a household name

They say you can never go home again, but that's not entirely true. Well, at least not in the sports world. On Thursday, it was announced that Cam Newton would be returning to the Carolina Panthers -- the team where the former Heisman Trophy winner cemented his status as a bona fide NFL superstar -- after an unceremonious departure in 2020.

While Newton is the latest, the quarterback is far from the first star to return to their roots (the list includes LeBron James, Randy Moss, Allen Iverson and Ichiro Suzuki, to name a few).

Was the second time playing for the team that helped them achieve icon status as fruitful as the first?
