CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Cam Newton put on a show for the more
than 15,000 Carolina Panthers fans who braved threatening weather
Saturday to get a glimpse of the rookie quarterback at the team's
annual Fan Fest at Bank of America Stadium.
The No. 1 overall pick looked extremely comfortable in his new
home stadium, making short work of a two-minute drill on offense by
throwing a 70-yard touchdown pass to tight end Gary Barnidge and
then adding a 65-yard scoring strike to David Clowney later on.
It capped an impressive first week for Newton, who led Auburn to
a national championship last year and won the Heisman Trophy.
Earlier in training camp, coach Ron Rivera was asked his
impressions of Newton and responded, "Wow!"
Fans seemed to have the same reaction Saturday, giving Newton a
hero's welcome.
