Nice article in the Observer about the boy Cam gave the ball too

This is the real Ca. He started doing this before The season started at Auburn. There was no Newton Hype, no awards, no National Championships. Just a good man giving back to the community. This was posted on the Auburn Family website last year.

Cameron Newton: A Role Model to Thousands

His athleticism has caught the attention of thousands, but many may not know that Auburn’s newest quarterback, Cameron Newton, is more than just a talented football player.

Every Monday, Newton visits Wrights Mill Road Elementary School and vows to make a difference in these children’s lives.

“It’s hard to imagine how he finds time to help others when his schedule is so packed,” said Faith Palmer, Auburn University student. “That just shows the caliber of person he is, and I know I, along with many others, are proud to have him as part of the Auburn family.”

Newton’s road to Auburn has not been easy. It has been filled with many trials and tribulations, but he has learned from his mistakes and is moving forward.

When he arrived on the plains, he decided to make the most out of his second chance. He wanted to give back to the Auburn community, and he is using his new found wisdom to help children.

According to AuburnSports.com, as soon as Auburn City schools began in August, Newton met with Wrights Mill Road Elementary School Principal, Lynda Tremaine.

Tremaine gave Newton the opportunity to be a part of the school’s mentor program. This allows him to work with children who need encouragement, either for academics or behavior, and Newton was thrilled.

Tremaine knew the time commitment would be difficult because of his strenuous schedule, but he continues to prove that this too is a top priority.

"If something comes up and he's going to be a little late, he'll call," Tremaine said. "If he's got to come on a different day, he'll let me know. I've been principal here for 14 years and have seen volunteers come and kind of fade away. But Cameron is taking this very seriously."

Newton lends his time to helping the entire school, but there are four fifth grade boys that he works with individually. He talks with the boys about the importance of good behavior and always doing the right thing.

“The teachers said they cannot believe the difference in their whole attitude,” Tremaine said. “He was made-to-order for our program.”

Cameron Newton has not only emerged as one of the nation’s top quarterbacks, but has also proven to be an influential role model and mentor.

"He is doing this, without a doubt, out of the kindness of his heart," Tremaine said. "He really wants to make a difference. He has told his boys, 'You know there were times that I was bad when I was about your age too,' but he lets them know that we learn from our mistakes.

Newton has clearly done just that. He has made mistakes, but continues to move forward as he inspires others on his journey to the top.

Thank you. Cam is the real deal folks, we are fortunate and people need to wake up and recognize this.

That article about Cam at Wrights Mill Elementary is the real character behind the image. There has never been a player in the history of college football who was slandered in the news media as badly as Cam Newton was. We are so fortunate to have a leader like him in Charlotte who is the real thing.

Narwocki is full of sh*t man

I also find it funny that he rags on the Superman celebration as leaving his team out. Almost as if he's never heard of the Justice League...

Now I'm thinking about whom on the Panthers would be whom in the JL...

Legadu = Aquaman

[BBQ&Beer]

Legadu = Aquaman

I was thinking that wonder twin who turned into a bucket of water... But the bucket wouldn't be able to hold on to the water in that case so, yeah you're right.

The trolling is getting ridiculous.

Don't you have a job camdemonium?

[Camdemonium]

Actually I believe that is exactly what happened. I believe that Rivera gave Cam the game ball and Cam gave it to his lineman.

Good on him then

The trolling is getting ridiculous.

Don't you have a job camdemonium?

Oh Jeez, here comes the trolling argument.

I guess pointing out the obvious is trolling, huh?

I'm at my job, a large portion of the college educated population work with computers so it's not that tough to get on here.

1/3 of this board is comprised of grown men who come on the Huddle at work.

1/3 of this board is comprised of college/high school students who think Madden is really what football is like.

1/3 of this board is comprised of people who can't tell you who the Panthers beat last year but man they love that they have a QB they can identify with now.

[The Saltman]

so you're part of the 1/3 that think madden is really what football is like?

[Camdemonium]

Obvi

Want my gamertag?

[The Saltman]

sure.

you usually play with the dolphins right?

[Zcustom]

this board is starting to smell again...

[Camdemonium]

sure.

you usually play with the dolphins right?

Random.

When you get to my level, it doesn't matter what team you use.

If there was no Madden, there wouldn't be a point to the NFL.
