Following last year’s Super Bowl, Cam Newton was painted as a villain in the media because of his post-game press conference. People talked about his attitude and why he’s a sore loser. Even leading up to the season, there were media outlets who didn’t consider him a Tier 1 quarterback in the league. We’re sure Killa Cam heard it all.
But what a difference a year makes. Cam is heading into the season with the Carolina Panthers with a new mindset, a chip on his shoulder and something to prove.
In this commercial for Gatorade, Cam faces his demons, the heartbreak and shows how hard he worked during the offseason (both physically and mentally), so he could face the new season challenges head on. The NFL better watch out. Cam is one year wiser, stronger and determined.
The Panthers face the Denver Broncos in a rematch of last year’s big dance tonight and we’re positive the team wants a different outcome this time around. Whether or not it’s the same Broncos team or the stakes are high is up to interpretation. Either way, the first game of the season starts at 8:30 EST on NBC.
