CHARLOTTE, N.C. — During last Friday’s press conference before enjoying his first-round bye, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had some fun, assigning nicknames to his teammates inside the offensive huddle.
The likely league MVP explained that he needs to film a rough cut of what goes on inside the huddle because “everyone has a different ego.”

“It’s pretty interesting,” Newton said. “I think MTV or ESPN should pick that up and just have a GoPro sticking out like it’s a sprinkler system.”

- Greg Olsen -- The Overseer
- Philly Brown -- He's Cool
