Cam Newton had quite the day on Tuesday.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 draft and three-time Pro Bowl selection made major headlines on Monday when he announced on social media that he would throw at Auburn’s pro day.
“Tell me how these randoms keep getting jobs?” Newton said in a video posted to Twitter. “Don’t worry about it. I’m going to show you. I can’t wait to show you.”
After not playing at all during the 2022 season, Cam Newton got to show what he can still do in front of scouts at a pro day event Tuesday at Auburn, where he won a Heisman Trophy and a national championship in the 2010 season.
The 2015 NFL Most Valuable Player threw more than 30 passes to several NFL hopefuls from Auburn, including wide receiver Shedrick Jackson.
One of those passes was a 60-yard rocket from the goal line that showed off his incredible arm strength.

Newton, who has played 11 seasons as a pro, hasn’t attempted a pass in an NFL game since Dec. 26, 2021. His last action came when he rejoined the Carolina Panthers midway through the 2021 season and went 0-5 as a starting quarterback.
His last full year came in 2020 when he was a member of the New England Patriots.
