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

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
