Cam Newton gives the shirt off his back to a Wounded Warrior

If it turns out that Panthers quarterback Cam Newton does indeed have a fake smile — as draft pundit Nolan Nawrocki declared in 2011 — it’s the longest con in the recent history of the NFL.

Last night, the Panthers quarterback literally gave the shirt off his back to a Wounded Warrior.

According to Bill Voth of Black and Blue Review, the Panthers were visited at their practice in downtown Charlotte by U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Cedric King.

King lost both his legs and part of his right arm after stepping on a land mine in Afghanistan, and has served as an inspiration to the team since 2012.
