Carolina Panthers star Cam Newton is making all the right moves on and off the court. The Heisman Trophy winner who heads into his third NFL season this fall, was the 2011 Rookie of the Year and set a new NFL record as the first quarterback to exceed 1,000 yards passing and 500 yards rushing in a season.
The former Auburn Tiger has also surprised his fans and fellow students by returning to his alma mater to finish his degree, cheering on his fellow students at sporting events as well. According to Yahoo.com, Newton has requested no special treatment but is taking his classes like any “normal” student despite an NFL contract worth upwards of $20 million. Newton has been spotted not just at Auburn’s main sporting events but the 6’5 athlete even played a little intramural basketball.
