Cam Newton Man Of Steel

Only in his fifth season in the NFL, Newton has already written his name all over the league’s record books.

He’s tied with Steve Young for the most career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (43) and most games with both a passing and rushing touchdown (31). He’s the only player to ever record 30 passing touchdowns and 10 rushing touchdowns in the same season, which he did in 2015. He has more combined yards (21,560) than anyone in history through five seasons, surpassing Peyton Manning. The 26-year-old has also racked up eight NFC Offensive Player of the Week awards, three Pro-Bowl selections, one All-Pro nod and an MVP award. And with 2015 being his best individual season to date, it’s fare to say the arrow is still pointing up for the electrifying dual-threat playmaker.

Cameron Jerrell Newton (born on May 11th 1989), an American football quarterback for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Auburn and was drafted as the first overall pick by the Panthers in the 2011 NFL Draft. Newton is the only player in the modern era to be awarded the Heisman Trophy, win a national championship, and become the first overall pick in an NFL draft within a one-year span. He was the 2011 NFL Rookie of the Year, is a three-time Pro Bowler, and was named to the NFL All Pro First Team in 2015.

In his rookie year, Newton broke all-time NFL rookie records for passing and rushing yards. He became the first NFL quarterback to throw for 400 yards in his first game, shattering Peyton Manning's first-game record by 120 yards. He also broke Otto Graham's 61-year-old record for passing yards by any quarterback in an NFL debut. Newton went on to become the first rookie quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards in a season. He also ran for 14 touchdowns, more in a single season than any quarterback in NFL history, breaking Steve Grogan's 35-year-old record.

In 2015, Newton became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least 30 touchdowns and rush for 10 in the same season (35 passing, 10 rushing). He also became the only quarterback ever to have 300 yards passing, 5 touchdown passes, and over 100 yards rushing in the same game. Newton capped off the 2015 season by capturing MVP honors and leading his Panthers to a 15–1 record and a trip to Super Bowl 50.
