Cam Newton Metoric Rise to Fame
Many NFL experts scoffed at the Carolina Panthers front office when they drafted Cam Newton No. 1 overall. Newton came out of nowhere when he won the Heisman Trophy and the national championship last season.
The bandwagon for Cam Newton was overflowing after his victory in the BCS Title Game but the sturdy quarterback began hearing comparisons to much less talented players in the NFL. JaMarcus Russel’s name was unfairly brought up and Vince Young was also used as an example of what Newton could become.

Where will Julius Peppers end up?
Julius Peppers
One more day until we find out whether Julius Peppers goes for the money or he goes for the chance to win a championship.
He already has a boatload of money from his time with the Carolina Panthers, so he doesn’t need to pursue the highest-value contract. But, you can never have enough mansions.
If he wants to go for a Super Bowl, he’s going to have to accept less money since none of the teams that play in the sort of situation that he’s looking for can afford to spend what Peppers is asking for.
