Cam Newton Makes Fairytale Return To The Carolina Panthers
Former first pick quarterback Cam Newton returned to the Carolina Panthers with a swagger after rejoining the team in midweek.
The Panthers re-signed Cam Newton on Thursday after an injury to Sam Darnold forced him onto injured reserve.Â
Cam Newton rushed for a 2-yard touchdown on his first snap of the season as Carolina beat the Arizona Cardinals.
Newton had 3-of-4 passing for 8 yards, 14 yards rushing and another passing touchdown in the 34-10 victory.Â

“I’ll put it like this: this time last week, I was eating a bowl of cereal. You feel me? So, I told coach [Matt] Rhule it would never happen again,” Newton said.Â
“So, that just puts things into perspective. After going to church, being with my children and really not even watching football; it was just about maximizing the person I need to be and so for that it was just all a rush of emotions. But yet I know a lot of people in the media, the titles of the newspapers, the blogs, they want to make it about me and it’s not about me and I keep sayin’ this. This was an impeccable team win.”

After a disappointing spell with the Patriots, Newton has a chance to reset his career in the place it began.
“God is real, that’s facts, and I’m just a vessel of Him and He’s working in on my life. I was teasing some people about what’s going on, you can’t even make up a lie this good, you know what I’m sayin’?” Newton said.Â
“And I’m just happy to be back, I’m just happy to be a contributor to a team that’s already good, we’re just trying to get over the hump. It’s good to be .500 and we got our work cut out for us.”
