Like most self-respecting people, Cam Newton wants to be the best he can possibly be.
Newton, it just so happens, doesn’t mind openly declaring that goal, and his pursuit of that goal just happens to play out one of the biggest stages on the planet.
Folks aren’t used to people unashamedly proclaiming that they want to be great, and because of that, Newton sometimes rubs people wrong.
