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.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
