Cam Newton has become America’s greatest sports redemption story.
Kicked off the team at Florida for stealing and then exiled to Blinn Community College, Newton seemed destined to take his place among the thousands of promising young athletes never able to realize their potential.
Fortunately for Newton he found Auburn.
From the moment Newton became a Tiger his life has been on a fast track past simple redemption toward icon status.
An SEC Championship, the Heisman Trophy and Auburn’s first national championship in over 50 years would have cemented Newton as one of college football’s greatest turnarounds. Cam, however, was just getting started.
First pick in the NFL Draft, major national product endorser, Auburn sociology graduate and now $100+ million dollar quarterback.
Auburn’s role in Newton’s redemption can’t be overstated.
Don’t take my word for it, take his. No, don’t take his word for it, observe his actions.
Newton continues to be a fixture on the Auburn campus despite no longer needing anyone there for anything.
If Newton were unable to realize the extent to which Auburn helped save him, and didn’t appreciate it, he would have long since put the place in his rear view mirror. Every additional day he spends on that campus is his way of saying “thank you” to Auburn and the Auburn family for embracing him and allowing him to flourish.
In case you missed it, here's a wonderful video ESPN’s Trey Wingo produced on Newton’s recent graduation.

People hate on Cam because people these days hate a good redemption story.

Because he's a terrible troll. He's not even selective with his material. Just slings that shite against the board and hopes for the best.

We can both only dream of being as awesome as you and have a bunch of Internet tards actually like us and stuff

They didn't mention the part about the massive re-modeling that went on at the church right after his commitment. Auburn saved that church house as well.

Since there is no longer an ongoing investigation has Cam Newton ever told the truth about a money transaction between Auburn and his Dad.
