Cam Newton isn’t suiting up on Sundays anymore, but he’s still bringing the heat—this time with some bold words about the Detroit Lions.
During a recent podcast appearance, the former NFL MVP gave Detroit their flowers, praising the team’s rise under Dan Campbell and highlighting the kind of culture shift he says other franchises should be watching closely.
“This ain’t the same old Lions,” Newton said bluntly. “This team got heart. They got leadership. And they’re building something real.”
Newton went on to emphasize that Detroit’s identity isn’t just hype—it’s grit, accountability, and a hunger to prove doubters wrong. And coming from someone who knows what it takes to lead a locker room and carry a franchise on his back, the words carry weight.
He also applauded quarterback Jared Goff for his growth and composure under pressure, saying, “He’s one of the most disrespected quarterbacks in the league right now… and look what he’s doing.”
It’s clear Newton sees something special in this Lions squad—and he’s not the only one. The NFL world is watching, and Detroit is no longer the team you overlook on your schedule.
