Let’s talk about that awkward pregame moment between former Auburn Tigers legend Cam Newton, Shedeur Sanders, and Travis Hunter. We know you’ve seen the video circulating all over social media, and we’re here to give you the inside scoop straight from Cam himself.
Cam Newton addressed the situation on his podcast and this is what he had to say;
“It was contentious. It was a little awkward. Not only with Shedeur but also with Travis….I think to protect our conversation. And I think I need to and will be obedient to that.”
“I think the difference between this age of athletes versus the age of athlete even when I was playing. Is so direct-to-consumer. And I even shared this with Shedeur. I said, bro, there’s a lot of support for you. And your father. And even Colorado. You don’t see that because people don’t naturally dwell on the good,” Newton continued.
“They’re reading the type of content that you like. Or that catches your attention…. He [Shedeur Sanders] needs to understand that this is the big leagues now. But I also have to understand this. I have more power than I give myself sometimes, too.” Newton admitted.
Cam Newton added that he wanted Shedeur Sanders to understand that the day NIL became legal, college players essentially became professionals.
“But I think for Shedeur to understand, bro, the day that they allowed NIL to be legal. You’re no longer an amateur no more. You used to they could protect the college athlete. That’s not happening,” Newton explained.
