On Sunday afternoon, a video of Carolina Panthers great Cam Newton appearing to be ambushed emerged on social media. Here’s the clip:

Details regarding the incident, which took place during a 7v7 tournaments, are scarce to this point. Per TMZ, the event was held at Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy in Atlanta, Ga.
The video shows a few individuals attempting to attack the former quarterback. But Newton, who made a career out of bulldozing defenders and carrying whole teams, seemed rather comfortable while manhandling multiple attackers.
This isn’t a first for Panthers fans, who are very much acquainted with Newton’s scuffling skills. In 2015, the eventual Most Valuable Player and cornerback Josh Norman engaged in a fit of fisticuffs during training camp—giving us this lasting image:
And just like in that brawl, Newton looked to come out on top.
