Very few players, at least in recent memory, have influenced the game of football like Carolina Panthers great Cam Newton. In fact—from his trailblazing abilities to his infectious showmanship—you can argue there never has and never will be another one quite like him.
And now, that influence on the sport is about to get a whole lot greater.
As announced on Tuesday, Newton has partnered with sports media giant Overtime to establish a new amateur football league, OT7. OT7 will feature the nation’s top high school talent in seven-on-seven competition, starting with a week-long tournament on June 6 in Las Vegas, Nev.
