Cam Newton predicted Panthers’ shot at Super Bowl title six months ago

Six months ago, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton made a promise that he would put himself in the position to win a championship.

Six months ago, no one knew which two teams would make it to Super Bowl 50, but Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton made a promise that he would put himself in the position to win a championship.

On Friday, Under Armour revealed a video of Newton speaking to the company’s summer interns about what he wanted to accomplish as an athlete.

“I don’t have a Super Bowl ring, but I guarantee you, this year, next year, year after that, I will be putting myself in the rankings to win a Super Bowl,” Newton said.

Now, Newton is just days away from making his prediction a reality.

The quarterback has had a stellar season, throwing for 3,837 yards and 35 touchdowns to lead his team to a 15–1 record.
