Former Carolina Panthers star Cam Newton is one of the most popular sportspersons in America. Still, a woman in Florida failed to recognise him despite playing a pickleball match with him. The woman sent the photo of herself with Newton and other pickleball partners to her son, asking her son if he recognises him.
“I played pickleball with him at a new rec facility that opened a few weeks ago here in our city,” her text read in part. “He borrowed someone’s paddle and I’m thinking he must have known the other woman... He’s only played a few times but played like a pro.”
The woman initially did not recognise Newton but was surprised to see other people taking pictures with the 6-foot-5, 250-pound player. The woman admitted to her son that she was the only one who wasn't aware who the man was. The text message has since gone viral, with media outlets sharing the screenshot, garnering hundreds of thousands of likes on Instagram.
The woman told her son that Newton played pickleball like a pro and her team lost the match 11-8. Meanwhile, Newton represented Panthers from 2011-2019 before returning for the 2021 season. His best year came in 2015 when he won the MVP honors and led Carolina to the Super Bowl. The former Panther’s 75 rushing touchdowns are the most among quarterbacks in NFL history. He is also third in the rushing yards. Newton was a veteran for Carolina and has more passing yards, touchdowns, and wins than any other quarterback in franchise history.
