(Reuters) - Whether viewed as electrifying and flamboyant or as egotistical and annoying, Cam Newton stands tall as the one-of-a-kind quarterback of the Carolina Panthers.
The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Newton is the NFL's greatest dual-threat quarterback and brings boundless energy and enthusiasm to his job and relishes the spotlight - which will shine brightest on Feb. 7 when he battles the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50.
Beloved by his teammates, the 26-year-old Newton led the top-seeded Panthers to a league-best 15-1 record in the regular season while at the helm of the NFL's highest-scoring offense.
