Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton (Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports)
Its Cam’s world, we’re just living in it.
Cam Newton is performing at a higher level and having more fun than any other athlete in the world right now (sorry Steph). The jaw-dropping talent that made him the #1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft has been on display all season. With help from a stout defense, Cam has led the Carolina Panthers to a 17-1 record and a Super Bowl showdown with the Denver Broncos.
If the Panthers defeat the Broncos on Sunday, Newton will become only the second player ever to win the Heisman Trophy, National Championship, NFL MVP (he’s the hands down favorite this year), and Super Bowl.
