Carolina Panthers all-time leading passer Cam Newton is cool in many senses of the word—from his playing style to his leadership style and to his fashion style. But he’s also cool, apparently, right after disaster strikes.
In charting quarterback performance directly following an interception, Pro Football Focus’ Tej Seth found Newton has the third-highest EPA (expected points added) per pass amongst all quarterbacks over the past 11 years. His 130 throws in those particular situations only trail the work of Matthew Stafford’s 144 and Alex Smith’s 58.
