CAM NEWTON MAKES up nicknames for everyone on the Carolina Panthers' roster. Receiver Jerrico Cotchery is "Jerrico Clutchery." When Newton first met receiver Brenton Bersin, a man with long, flowing blond hair, he decided to name him after the prince in "Shrek." Only Newton got mixed up and named him "Lord Farquaad," the ugly villain from the movie.
"So I corrected him," Bersin said, "and I was like, 'You mean Prince Charming?' And he was like, 'I'm not going to call you that. You're stuck with Lord Farquaad.'"
Perhaps the most revealing name Newton has come up with is for tight end Greg Olsen.
