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

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
    • Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball.
