Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers
People have been pretty critical of Cam Newton since coming into the league, and frankly he’s a pretty easy target. I kinda compare him to Drake in the sense that he’s much bigger than his profession; he has personality and flair that people either love or hate, but he’s damn good at what he does. Newton has been putting up some pretty good numbers this year en route to an eye-catching 6-0 record, but it’s been his leadership that has really made the difference for this team. The wily quarterback has matured and definitely has a better grip on his team, which is definitely showing on the field. His stats may not wow you, but the effectiveness of his play has clearly contributed to the team’s overall success.
