SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- The first thing you notice is the size. Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton looked big in street clothes at the scouting combine, but in full uniform he is the tallest guy in his huddle and at 253 pounds -- real weight -- he is as big as his tight ends. The second thing you notice is Newton's playful approach to the game. He is serious when taking the play call, and serious when he runs a play, but at times when the play is done, he will do something child-like, such as skipping to the sideline after a handoff or goofing off with a teammate.
Maybe that's who Newton is: A kid in a man's body.
CARRY ON
