I think it’s very important to stay humble despite being in such an admirable position. Too many people fail to realize that you can have the world one day and nothing to show for it the next. Unfortunately, this is something Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was close to experiencing.
Back on December 9, 2014 Cam was involved in a car accident within walking distance of his work place, Bank Of America Stadium. In a Bleacher Report article, it states that Cam’s truck flipped over “two or three times” which left Cam with 2 fractures in his lower back. Cam knows that day could have ended a lot worst and he has a unique way of reminding himself of it.
Over a year after the accident, Cam still wears his hospital bracelet.
I really feel Cam Newton gets it. He’s matured over the years and he totally understand his platform. He understands the power he has, his ability to leave a positive impact on the youth as well as understanding his he can’t take one moment of life for granted because it’s not promised. Never Forget the Journey.
