Cam Newton on Mentoring Lamar Jackson: I Just Want to Be an Outlet for Him

One former NFL MVP is more than happy to serve as a mentor to Baltimore Ravens rookie Lamar Jackson.

According to The Undefeated's William C. Rhoden, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was among the players around the NFL to reach out to Jackson after the former Louisville Cardinals star was drafted in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens last April.

"The first thing he did was say, 'Here's my number, give it to Lamar and tell Lamar to give me a call,'" Baltimore general manager Ozzie Newsome told Rhoden.
