And now this one of an alleged pro bowl player who for whatever reason waited almost a year to make these claims? Bull-****.
The autograph thing is stupid. Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and just about every other big-named player does the EXACT same thing. I don't know why Newton got critiqued for it, but the same day he was signing them, Bo Jackson was there beside him. It's a deal the player makes with the company. He still does autographs at training camp, and from what I've heard, almost always does them for kids.
It could just be the fact that I actually watch Newton every week, but I don't see how he's big-headed. If anything he's a goof-ball. Every interview he's had has been 100% truth and unless you like a QB who enjoys losing, he's had the kind of interviews I'd expect from a competitive QB.
I just don't get how Newton gets ragged on for **** that other QBs do. Everyone always -ALWAYS- makes the comment "Cam needs to be more like Peyton Manning, durrrr". Am I the only person in the universe who's seen Peyton melt down and blame every teammate on his ****ing roster for losing? Newton has NEVER thrown another player under the bus. He always shares blame with the team, even in games where he clearly wasn't the reason they loss.
What does a charity golf tournament have to do with a damn thing? If you're implying that Newton isn't charitable, he has his own charity foundation that has dumped tons of money into schools in NC.
