It wasn’t that long that Cam Newton led the Carolina Panthers to the Super Bowl and was named NFL MVP.
However, for whatever reason, it seems like he’s not getting the respect he deserves.
From getting called out for his takes on some of the quarterbacks in today’s game to people jumping him at a football camp, Newton doesn’t seem to get the flowers he’s earned.
That’s why Shannon Sharpe wanted to set the record straight, and had him on his famous “Club Shay Shay” podcast.
The podcast’s official Twitter account made the announcement, praising Newton’s incredible resume and demanding some respect be put on his name.
.@CameronNewton is the only player to win the Heisman, BCS National Championship, NFL Rookie of the Year, and be selected #1 in the NFL Draft in the same year! PUT SOME RESPECT ON THAT MAN NAME!

Newton was a one-man show in college, leading a subpar Auburn team to a National Championship.
He ran away — both literally and figuratively — with the Heisman trophy before being selected No. 1 overall by the Carolina Panthers, and he could be considered one of the greatest — if not the greatest — players in franchise history.
Unfortunately, his physical style of play wound up taking a toll on his body and his prime was cut short, and he wasn’t able to win a Super Bowl in his only appearance in the big game.
Even so, he should go down as one of the most physically gifted and imposing players this game has ever seen, a walking highlight reel, and a former MVP, so it’s about time the fans start giving respect where it’s clearly due.
