Future Black History Month: Cam Newton's Undisputed Dominance
This year, we’re celebrating an extended Black History Month by highlighting a variety of rising forces who are creating history before our very eyes. A dual-threat playmaker, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton led his team to a 15-1 regular-season record on 45 total touchdowns—all while dabbing in the face of haters—and is one win away from becoming the first QB in NFL history to win a Heisman Trophy, college football title, NFL MVP award and Super Bowl.
Since being drafted with the No. 1 pick in 2011, the 26-year-old Atlanta native has carved a space out for himself among the NFL elite—and, more importantly, at a position traditionally dominated by white players. Unlike his Super Bowl counterpart Peyton Manning, your archetypal pocket passer, Newton challenges defenses with his legs and his arm as a hyper-athletic running quarterback. In a league that doubts QBs who dare go mobile, Newton is a square peg who doesn't fit the round hole of conventional playmaking. And he has proven to critics time and time again that he remains unstoppable.
