With the first pick in the 2011 NFL draft, the Carolina Panthers select… Cam Newton, quarterback, Auburn. These words spoken by Roger Goodell would send a shockwave of mixed feelings throughout the Panther’s fan base. Reactions like: “Why would we draft a one year wonder? ,” “Are we honestly going to ask a half back to throw 30 passes a game? ,” and “Aren’t we giving up on Jimmy Clausen too soon, should've drafted AJ Green” certainly didn't reinforce the fact that the controversial Heisman winning quarterback was a smart choice. But as the first week of his rookie season came along, most doubt would be dispelled to the tune of 440 total yards, 3 touchdowns, a costly interception, and one excited fan base. As the charismatic and talented young QB shredded his way through the record books, fans bought his jerseys and reenacted his signature touchdown move at their own personal accomplishments.
