From a very small sample size, it looks as if Cam Newton is officially back.
The 31-year-old dealt with injuries over the past two seasons and it overshadowed the fact he’s a former NFL MVP who’s one of the most dominant players on the field. Newton imposes his will when running the ball and defensive players struggle to take him down with initial contact.
Newton rushed 15 times for 75 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in a 21-11 win against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. He led all rushers in carries, yards and touchdowns, as he collected the accolade of most rushing touchdowns (60) by a quarterback in NFL history.
