Cam Newton breaks three world records with help from popular YouTube star

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is used to breaking franchise and NFL records. Now, he can add three Guinness World Records to his list of accomplishments.

Earlier this summer, Newton teamed up with popular YouTube star MrBeast at Bank of America Stadium to try to break the world records for most one-handed catches in under a minute, longest catch between the legs and furthest blindfolded catch in motion.

Newton successfully completed 51 one-handed catches in under a minute, breaking the previous record of 48 held by wide receiver Jarvis Landry and former quarterback Brady Quinn.

With Newton playing quarterback, the other two records were broken as well.

The crew also took a shot at breaking the record for highest altitude of a football pass caught. That meant dropping a ball 600 feet from a helicopter. Alas, they were not successful.
