Former Auburn star Cam Newton was involved in a scuffle with defensive back Josh Norman at the Panthers’ training camp on Monday.

Usually franchise quarterbacks are the last to jump into a pile on the field, but that was not the case with the 6-5, 245-pound Newton who began shoving Norman after he intercepted one of the quarterback’s passes.

There aren’t many quarterbacks in the NFL who would be able to hold their own in a fight on the football field, but, in this case, Newton is probably the favorite. Put these two in a ring, and Norman is undoubtedly the underdog.

“Who wants to hit somebody?” is a common phrase heard during football practice, but Cam Newton seemed to buy into that message just a little too much.

If Cam is going to do this after every interception he throws, then each Panthers game suddenly becomes must-watch television.
