Newton throws at Auburn pro day

After not playing at all during the 2022 season, Cam Newton got to show what he can still do. Newton threw in front of scouts at a pro day event on Tuesday at Auburn, where he won a Heisman Trophy and a national championship in the 2010 season. The 2015 NFL MVP declined to speak to reporters. During the workout, the 34-year-old Newton threw more than 30 passes to several NFL hopefuls from Auburn. Newton, who has played 11 seasons as a pro, hasn’t attempted a pass in an NFL game since Dec. 26, 2021. He rejoined the Panthers midway through the 2021 season and went 0-5 as a starting quarterback. Newton’s last full season in the league came in 2020, when he was a member of the Patriots. He was a three-time Pro Bowl selection in his first stint with the Panthers, winning both AP offensive rookie of the year and MVP honors while also leading the team to Super Bowl 50. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 draft made headlines Monday evening when he announced on social media that he would throw at Auburn’s pro day.
