‘Superman!’: Panthers Player Stuns With 72-Yard Dash and a Front Flip

Cam Newton #1 of the Carolina Panthers dives into the end zone for a touchdown in front of defender Christopher Owens #21 f the Atlanta Falcons during play at Bank of America Stadium on December 9, 2012 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo: Getty Images)
The Carolina Panthers may not be having the best year, but Cam Newton’s third quarter touchdown is certainly making news.
The Herald Online writes:
There are a few plays that every Carolina Panthers fan remembers: Sam Mills’ interception return of a shovel pass in 1995. Steve Smith’s catch and run against St. Louis in the 2003 playoffs. A handful of others.
One play was added to the list Sunday, when Cam Newton ran 72 yards for a touchdown and front-flipped into the end zone in the Panthers’ 30-20 upset of Atlanta.
Let me repeat that: A 6-foot-5, 248-pound quarterback sprinted almost the length of the field, used an incredible Steve Smith block to his advantage and then had the athleticism to do a front flip into the end zone.
[...]
“It was just a zone read play,” Newton said of the run, in which he first faked a handoff to DeAngelo Williams. “When I was running I saw No. 23, Dunta Robinson, look back as if the running back had it. … The only thing I kept thinking was, ‘I just can’t get caught.’”

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 5:30pmI guess the world has run out of new information. There is nothing about this video that warrants its own story on the Blaze.
BIG YAWN!

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 2:41pmThis only proves he’s a better running back than QB…..He’s also a child in a man’s body…very immature and it show’s up on camera..

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 1:18pmI forget which coach told his players to at least act like they had been in the end zone before. Such historonics are the sure sign of a juvinile mind.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 12:04pmWow Superman’s team is in last place…What a waste of money! You Panther fans must be so excited. Make sure you pay top dollars for everything Panthers…. This guy will be on the junkheap of running backs who got destroyed playing quarter back, like Vic. Let’s get Circ De Soleil in at halftime, cheaper and better entertainment and you’re still in last place.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 10:27amNice run, but the flip was not necessary and there HAVE been instances where leaps/flips were used to really avoid tackles.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 11:18amIt was nice but I agree, there are better flips for sure. I think Jerome Simpson’s (when he was with the Bengals) flip over a defender to get into the end zone was the best.. incredible play.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 8:24amI always have wondered why there wasn’t more acrobatics tried with football to avoid tackles and such. It seemed like an edge that might net a couple of more games a season.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 10:15amWhy not leap every time. One good thing can happen… avoid a tackler. Two bad things can happen…1) get hurt ‘cuz you are upside down or fly into something else unavoidable 2) actually lose speed (you never see anyone jump at the finish line in a race or sprint to a baseball base. Gymnasts and high jumpers jump to get air time. In FB there is no advantage to air time so why jump?
Cam was just being exhilarated by his trip to the house.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 12:32ambig guys normally are not that great at doing flips. Sounds like an unnecessary risk and a stupid, potential career…and life ending move to me.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 2:13amYou’re right that it was unnecessary, however, it was impressive and something he likely wanted to show just once in his career. Now, the coaching staff and owner can discuss the risks, and may even fine him, or at least warn him never to do that again. Nothing bad happened, and Newton is not your responsibility to tell what risks he can/cannot take.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 12:04amThat was exciting, but I have to say that New York Giants rookie RB David Wilson’s 97-yard kick-off return was AWESOME, and his flip was much smoother … and yes I am a bit biased being from New York and a Giants fan for what has been forever …

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 11:40pmWas a great play….. was right there and saw it happen. The best part was Steve Smith running down the field blocking for him. Cam was great today. Was nice to finally see them all having a good game for change……. GO PANTHERS!

when I 1st looked at the picture I though he was white.
when they got the video up he turns out to be black.
but as I said 248 Lbs he still did a good job of it.
