Cam Newton had one big reunion with the Carolina Panthers, as he spared no time to score two touchdowns during his Sunday’s 10-34 victory against the Arizona Cardinals. The last time Cam Newton starred in all the news channels was when he was unexpectedly released by the New England Patriots about losing the starting QB battle to Mac Jones.

However, during his last afternoon’s game, the quarterback proved he has so much football left in him and that his NFL career was far from over. Although it took 10 weeks for the NFL to figure it out and sign in the free agent following his release.

Cam Newton makes an impressive return for the Carolina Panthers

The Panthers prior to Sunday’s game announced that the veteran quarterback will be active but won’t start against the Cardinals, which turned out to be true since PJ Walker was the one who claimed most of the playing time. Although the required start to the winning spell was given by Cam Newton, as he scored two touchdowns in the very first quarter of the game.

The Panthers were also penalized 15-yards for unsportsmanlike conduct after Newton took off his helmet and yelled “I’m Baaack!!” after the first touchdown in front of the Arizona fans. Although it was very relieving for the quarterback to do that but it might surely have attracted some amount of hate from the opposing side too.

Cam Newton started his NFL journey when he got drafted by the Carolina Panthers in 2011 and since then the quarterback has come a long way. He won the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2011 and only trended up from there. He led the Panthers to a 15-1 record in 2015 and also took them to the Super Bowl, but unfortunately, that extraordinary journey ended with a loss to the Denver Broncos.

However, a series of injuries affected his efficiency, and the team let go of him in 2019. However, he was then signed by the Patriots to act as the backup to the GOAT Tom Brady, but was released this season by losing the spot to the rookie Mac Jones.

Although his return to the Panthers was memorable but he still has a long way to go. However, it is going to be an epic scenario if the 32-year-old gives yet another impressive cameo for the team in his next week’s matchup against the Redskins.
