Sporting News reports Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton is starting a 20 episode cartoon series on Nickelodeon that begins in 2016. The superstar will be showing little kids what it takes to get what they want in life by going about it the right way and also getting mentored on the journey.
Cam was quoted saying ” Time in the spotlight has made me realize the importance of creating positive messages to inspire the next generation.” Although not overly publicized it is good to see young professional athletes interested and invested in the youth. Most stories are about domestic issues and after club woes. The youth of today needs more heroes to look up too.
