Before the 2024 NFL draft, Auburn football great Cam Newton gave Caleb Williams an inspirational message: be yourself, don’t let the haters win, and show the world that Gen Z is here to stay.
During his appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast (h/t On3), Newton remarked, “Just be you.” “Any more Cam Newtons are not needed. We no longer require the services of Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, or Peyton Manning.
Require distinct players to be authentic I also have some news for you. Gen Z has arrived and will remain in this world.
Therefore, despite your opinion that “Oh, that ain’t football dude got pink nails,” I can assure you that no one will care whether he paints his nails pink or even dyes his hair pink if they win football games. Let us not lose sight of the fundamental point. Put aside your concerns about style.
Williams seemed to have won Newton over, maybe because of the USC quarterback’s antics, which reminded the fellow former Heisman of his own. Without a doubt, Newton ranks higher on Williams than he does on a quarterback who chose not to enter the 2024 NFL Draft because he believes the former Trojans standout would not be selected.
Though Sanders is a better option under center for the Atlanta Falcons than their $180 million offseason purchase, Kirk Cousins, Newton isn’t quite sold on Sanders. Having said that, Newton stated that Shedeur could not even be deserving of a top-four selection in 2025.
Though it’s unlikely that anything private is there. On his fourth and first podcast, Newton welcomed Shedeur as a guest. The conversation between the Colorado quarterback and his former teammate, running back Kavosiey Smoke, was explosive.
