Cam Newton won the Heisman Trophy and the BCS national championship as Auburn ’s quarterback in the 2010 season. In the NFL in 2015, Newton won the league’s Most Valuable Award, but he and the Carolina Panthers lost to the Denver Broncos 24-10 in Super Bowl 50.

As expected, Cam Newton’s opinion on taking his MVP award over a Super Bowl ring stirred up some folks on social media.

The quarterback only made it to one Super Bowl, a 24-10 loss to Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos that ended the award-filled 2015 season. Newton garnered quite a bit of criticism for not diving on a fourth-quarter fumble in that game.
