When Cam Newton officially steps away from his NFL career, he will certainly have a future in being a motivational speaker.
The free-agent quarterback recently spoke to a group of high school football players and gave them stout advice about picking a college to play their next three to four years. He made sure to let them know that these big colleges do not need them no matter what their talent is.
“You think Kirby Smart needs you? You think Nick Saban Needs you? You stupid!”
“Half of y’all going to schools that don’t even offer you. If you’re good, it don’t matter where you go, they gonna find you.”
In the meantime, Cam Newton recently revealed a list of quarterbacks he’d be willing to serve as the QB2 to. Newton, who last attended Auburn as a collegiate athlete, will likely be reached out to by other teams that lack depth at the quarterback position.
After sitting out the 2022 season, it’s become pretty clear that Cam Newton wants to return to the NFL this year. Newton put himself back on the NFL radar in March when he showed up to throw to his brother at Auburn’s Pro Day.
Aside from the NFL QB’s he picked, Newton also said that he’d be willing to serve as a backup to Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, and Anthony Richardson. Those are three of the top quarterbacks in this year’s draft class and after they get picked, that will give us three more teams that Newton would be willing to sign with for a total of 12.

One interesting twist here is that the Panthers have the No. 1 overall pick. The last time they had the top pick came in 2011 when they selected Newton.
Newton seems determined to get back into the NFL this year and since he’s now willing to be a backup, it won’t be surprising at all if he does end up signing with someone.
