The video shows a young camper talking trash to the veteran NFL quarterback. The young man taunts Newton for being a “free agent” and “poor.”
Newton, a former No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick and league MVP, has earned more than $100 million over the course of his career. He’s also likely made several million dollars in endorsements. To put it simply: He is not poor.

Several NFL players have praised Newton for the way he handled this. Many are saying that if they were in Cam’s position, they wouldn’t have been as calm and respectful as he was.
“Cam you should have sent his ass home,” Dez Bryant wrote.
