Auburn Coach Gus Malzahn thinks quarterback Cam Newton has a fire under him going into the 2020 season.
The quarterback and Heisman winner is currently looking for a new team after the Panthers showed him the exit. Malzahn, who was Newton’s OC during his national title run with the Tigers, thinks the dual-threat quarterback has a message to send to the league.

According to ProFootballTalk, he told Mike Tirico, “He’s got something to prove, he’s determined. Whoever gets him better buckle up.”

While I hope Malzahn is correct, I’ll believe it once I see it. I honestly think Newton’s best football is long behind him.
Was he a star once upon a time? Without a doubt. Newton used to be one of the best quarterbacks in the entire league.

Then, his play fell off a cliff, there were health issues and he’s never been the same since. While I never cheer against somebody, it’s important to be realistic.
Newton’s time as an NFL might not be completely over, but his days of being a star are long behind him.
