As 11-year-old Jocelyn Williams bounced around the aisles of Dick’s Sporting Goods in search of the perfect pair of sneakers, she could barely tone down the mega-watt smile plastered across her face.

“How about these pink ones?” she was asked.

Still grinning, she craned her neck upwards to address the towering six-foot-five man standing next to her.

“Yeah, those are nice,” Williams told Cam Newton.

Williams, a sixth-grade student at Collinswood Language Academy, was one of approximately 20 elementary school children in the Charlotte area invited to Newton’s “Shop With a Jock” holiday charity event.

But before the night started, Newton opened the floor to questions from his audience.

One student stood up somewhat bashfully.

“Mr. Newton,” he began.

“Well, I guess this isn’t really a question,” he continued. “But I wanted to say you’re the best football player ever.”

Newton flashed his signature smile before approaching the boy to give him a bear hug.

Cam Newton loves the kids. I've been waiting for ONE type of charity event specifically though. Ready for it?


CAMping with Cam Newton. Kids and their families get a weekend in the offseason full of fishing, hotdogs, smores, camping, and fun with Cam (and probably Smitty, Luke, and others).


Make it happen.

I've said this before but Cam is just a natural around kids.  I think it's because since he's been such a high profile star almost his whole life most people he comes in contact with have alterior motives.  Kids don't.  Cam can be himself and not worry or use up so much energy being guarded.

 

And good for him for all he's doing in the community.

I have water in my eye

    • I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can. 
    • My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.
    • In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
