5 avenues that Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton could pursue in 2022

Cam Newton could go into media/TV
Another potential option for Cam Newton that he’s already begun to explore is the world of media. Whether that’s with his own production company or his Sip n’ Smoke show, this is an area where his magnetism and charisma really come across and something that could become a great success when he does hang up his cleats.
Newton is a well-spoken individual who is extremely knowledgeable about modern culture and all things football. There isn’t much that the quarterback hasn’t seen throughout his career and the contacts generated could come extremely handy if this option is pursued more aggressively in the coming years.
There is also the option of Newton potentially becoming an analyst for either college football or the NFL providing there is interest from a particular network. Places like Fox and ESPN are always on the lookout for strong personalities that can get their opinions across in an effective manner – which is an area where former Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen has excelled during his first season post-retirement.
Again, this would result in Newton walking away from the playing aspect of the game. But that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have a significant amount to offer once this storied period of his life concludes.
