Before he hit the field for Auburn University’s pro day, Cam Newton took to Twitter to respond to Shannon Sharpe for his harsh criticism.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end called out Newton for what he said in a video about his return to the NFL.
He said, “I’m gonna keep it 100 with you and everybody is watching. Cam, you haven’t been good for a very long time. I’ll tell you something they’re probably not telling you in your circle. That’s how the league looks at you. Now, you are one of those randoms…Cam Newton Is basing everything on what he was.”
According to Sharpe, Newton has done enough in the league and should hang up his cleats.
Newton took to Twitter with this response:
Point taken, @ShannonSharpe and I am not denying some facts you brought up, Unc!! Very valid. But if you give me a full offseason to learn what I am supposed to do with a stable franchise, I promise you, I will prove that I’m no random, sir!!

Newton last took an NFL snap in 2021, when the Panthers signed him in the middle of a terrible season. He appeared in eight games while passing for 684 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions while rushing for 230 yards and five scores.
He elected to sit out the entire 2022 season.
Will teams want to take a chance by signing Newton even if he is still able to throw? That remains to be seen.
