Cameron Jerrell Newton[1] (born May 11, 1989)
[2] is an
American football quarterback for the
Carolina Panthers of the
National Football League (NFL). He played
college football at
Auburn and was drafted as the
first overall pick by the Panthers in the
2011 NFL Draft. Newton is the only player in the modern era to be awarded the
Heisman Trophy, win a national championship, and become the first overall pick in an
NFL draft within a one-year span.
[3] He was the 2011 NFL Rookie of the Year, is a three-time Pro Bowler, and was named the NFL MVP in 2015.
In his rookie year, Newton broke all-time NFL rookie records for passing and rushing yards. He became the first NFL quarterback to throw for
400 yards in his first game, shattering
Peyton Manning's first-game record by 120 yards. He also broke
Otto Graham's 61-year-old record for passing yards by any quarterback in an NFL debut.
[4] Newton went on to become the first rookie quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.
[5] He also ran for 14 touchdowns, more in a single season than any quarterback in NFL history, breaking
Steve Grogan's 35-year-old record.
[6]
In 2015, Newton became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least 30 touchdowns and rush for 10 in the same season (35 passing, 10 rushing).
[7] He also became the only quarterback ever to have 300 yards passing, 5 touchdown passes, and over 100 yards rushing in the same game.
