Cam Newton received a lofty ranking by Chris Simms despite not having a new team following his release by the Carolina Panthers.
Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton might not have a new home following his release earlier this year. But he is still considered one of the best in the business by one NFL analyst.
The signal-caller lived up to his billing and more when the Carolina Panthers selected Newton with the No. 1 overall pick out of Auburn in 2011. He transformed the franchise to superstardom and probably deserved better treatment in terms of the timing of his release a little more than two months ago.
