10 things Cam Newton and Peyton Manning have in common
Super Bowl 50 will feature Cam Newton and Peyton Manning, two of the league’s most visible quarterbacks. In the weeks leading up to the game, much will certainly be made of the differences between the two.
Newton is 13 years younger than Manning, which is the largest age difference in Super Bowl history between starting quarterbacks . Manning is known as a career pocket passer who is able to deliver footballs with pinpoint accuracy, while Newton’s unique ability to run outside of the pocket and take big hits makes him a supreme talent. Manning generally doesn’t celebrate too much after touchdowns, while Newton sparked a nationwide dance craze by hitting the ‘Dab’ after big plays.
Despite all of their differences, the two still have plenty in common.
