Panthers great Cam Newton takes flight (literally) in wild helicopter extraction challenge

January 13, 2025 by Panthers Wire

Superman took flight.

Carolina Panthers legend Cam Newton showed off his hops and upper-body strength on this past week’s season premiere of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. The quarterback-turned-special forces agent (at least for the purposes of this FOX reality television series) was tasked with completing a helicopter extraction challenge—one he most definitely aced . . .

That effort should be a familiar sight for Panthers fans, who watched the former Most Valuable Player leap and power his way through defenders for nearly a decade. Despite some strong pushes of late from Buffalo’s Josh Allen and Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts, Newton still holds the NFL record for most career rushing touchdowns (75) by a quarterback.

In case you couldn’t figure it out from that impressive helicopter extraction, Newton successfully passed his way through the first episode of the season.
