Last weekend, Cam Newton made his triumphant return to the Carolina Panthers.
He’d spent the first half of the 2021 campaign without a team to play for after the New England Patriots released him at the end of training camp.
With the Panthers current quarterback woes, and Newton’s quick learning ability, Rhule clearly feels confident enough to play him already.
If Newton does get to join the Panthers other starters this weekend, it’ll be special for more than one reason.
In addition to the warm welcome that he’ll surely receive from Panthers fans, Newton will get a chance to play against his former head coach, Ron Rivera.
