Fan Fest: Cam Newton’s arm a no-show, others (quick-)step up to add excitement factor

As is his tradition at the event, Newton still pumped up the crowd quite a bit. And where he wasn’t able to make flashy plays on offense, rookie running back Christian McCaffrey showed of a little of his quick-step to get the fans roaring.
