In just five years in the NFL, Cam Newton has become the league's most dynamic--and perhaps its most dominant--player. He plays with the reckless abandon and pure joy of a child, because when it comes down to it, he's a kid at heart. But even though he's sometimes portrayed through a negative lens by the media, that heart he has is made of gold, and there's nothing that's going to stop him from making himself, and his fans, better. Here's the story of Cam Newton, from his current successes to his controversies to his goals and aspirations, and how it all began with one dream--his dream--to play in the NFL. Here is a preview of this biography: Chosen Newton A Father's Son A Swampy Start Humility Eye of the Tiger A Newbie in Carolina Sophomore Slump Third Time's the Charm One Forward, Two Back MVP A Controversial Figure Here is an excerpt from the book: When you watch Cam Newton on the field, it is easy to get taken in by his size and ability and forget about the type of person he is. This is what sports should do for someone. Frankly, though athletes are scrutinized and in the limelight, they're under no obligation to be hugely generous citizens to the community that they play in. Cam doesn't do it for the money--he does it because it's simply in his blood. The things that Cam does--both from a philanthropic perspective and a celebratory perspective--have been consistent. He has always done these things. The reason he's now getting backlash on the celebrations is because he's winning. When you aren't great, people pass you by, look you over, don't worry about what you're doing. But when you're the best, you draw the scrutiny of just about everyone who isn't rooting for you.
