Cam Newton Sets Panthers' Franchise Record for Career Passing and Rushing TDs

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton finished the 2016 season as the team's all-time leader in both passing (136) and rushing touchdowns (48), per NFL Communications.

Newton trailed just Jake Delhomme (120) in passing touchdowns entering 2016, but added 19 more to his ledger to clear Delhomme by 16, per Pro-Football-Reference.com. He sat behind current Pittsburgh Steelers back DeAngelo Williams (2006-14 with Panthers) for the franchise record in rushing touchdowns, but Newton moved two ahead of Williams after notching five rushing scores this year.

Despite the franchise records falling in his favor, Newton didn't play particularly well under center.
