A recent video is making rounds on social media, showing the ex-Carolina Panthers QB caught up in a scuffle during a youth football tournament. It is unclear how the fight began or if Newton sparked it, but he was seen standing up for himself as four others approached him aggressively.

The quality of the video isn’t great, but one can clearly spot a 6 feet 4 inches tall Cam Newton in his black outfit and custom Cowboys hat, right in the middle of the altercation. It is reported that the argument happened between Cam Newton and the crew of TSP, a team in the 7V7 15 U Championship, but it is yet to be confirmed.
Things got physical, with pushing, shoving, and punches thrown, until the police and event staff stepped in to break it up. Toward the end of video, Newton is seen smiling and saying, “I’ve got something for you,” before the camera cuts off.
After the video of the scuffle got viral, a former football quarterback, Robert Griffin III, stepped in to show support for Cam Newton. In a tweet on X, RGIII highlighted Newton’s past success, particularly leading Auburn University to a national championship.
Cam Newton led Auburn to a Natty with 1 O-lineman that started an NFL game and no one else recording a NFL reception, rush attempt or pass attempt. He’s used to being a one man army, so you are delulu if you thought some guys jumping him was gonna phase him. Hat didn’t even move. pic.twitter.com/i321xmZTyE

NFL fans too came together to support Cam Newton and stood by what RGIII said. Many praised Newton for his composure and intimidating presence, crediting his NFL physique for deterring troublemakers.
A fan stated,
Cam is likely the only millionaire NFLer consistently taking time to be in these spaces and our community decides to take shots at him instead of appreciating him.
A chance to share space with a man who made it to the place these kids want to be (at a Heisman and NFL MVP level)… https://t.co/GkjeW6iXqq

Another one wrote,
As a rule of thumb for regular dudes: I don’t care how many Jiu Jitsu classes you went to or how many stripes you have on that purple belt…you probably can’t beat up any NFL player.
You and three of your buddies also probably wouldn’t cut it either
And Cam is 6’4 250

A football enthusiast mentioned,
Cam Newton once ran through like eight Atlanta Falcons in one play and gleefully smiled the entire time as they bounced off of him.
Why the hell would you try to fight that.
