Cam Newton always signs off with one finger, one pinky and one thumb. But, as it turns out, he never used any of them to text Deebo Samuel.
The Carolina Panthers great became a slightly awkward topic of conversation for the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver on Wednesday’s episode of Up & Adams. When host Kay Adams brought up Newton’s tweet from the middle of Monday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Samuel stood up for his quarterback and stood up the former Most Valuable Player.
"Cam Newton, stop texting my phone bro."
Deebo DID NOT hold back on @CameronNewton and @MicahhParsons11 😯@19problemz @heykayadams pic.twitter.com/mfNK29xCf4

Newton, who categorized Samuel’s teammate Brock Purdy as a game manager on his YouTube show a few weeks ago, tweeted three monocle emojis during the 49ers’ demoralizing Christmas night performance. Purdy, an MVP favorite entering Week 16, tossed four interceptions to the Ravens in the 33-19 defeat.
But, uh, Newton—according to Newton—did not text Samuel’s phone . . .

So, who was it?
Soon after Cam’s response, Samuel posted and later deleted screenshots of what he believed to be texts from Newton.

Well, it was seemingly all a prank . . .
It appears the texts Deebo Samuel received were not from Cam Newton and indeed was an elaborate prank 👀 https://t.co/lWGLFqTJKE pic.twitter.com/Go1k6rmWB2

So, since it’s still all love, maybe Deebo will actually end up on 4th & 1 with Cam Newton one day.
