CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Cam Newton remembers all of the criticisms.
He couldn’t read defenses. He threw off his back foot. He wasn’t accurate enough.
The Carolina Panthers second-year quarterback laughs them off these days with a knowing, confident smile.
Newton told The Associated Press on Wednesday that if he based his “career off things people have said that I couldn’t do I would have quit this game a long time ago.”
He is plenty secure in his own skin, not to mention immensely talented in a football uniform.
