Former MVP quarterback Cam Newton hasn't played a down in the NFL since 2021, when he started five games for the Panthers in an ill-fated return to the team that drafted him after a year with the Patriots.
Newton went unsigned in 2022, and the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner has an unusual theory as to why that is. On Undefined, a podcast hosted by CBS Sports's Josina Anderson, Newton suggested a relationship between his unemployment and the length of his hair.
"It's been hinted," Newton said. “And I’m not changing. People have hinted to where they say like, ‘Cam, we want you to go back to the 2015 clean-cut Cam.’ But, that was a different me.”
