"If you could be any animal for two weeks, which one would you pick?"

Those were the very first words I heard when I stepped onto the practice field at Wofford College this past Friday. The question was posed by a smiling Cam Newton to fellow quarterback Derek Anderson as they warmed up for a sweltering afternoon practice at Carolina Panthers training camp.

If the pressure of a "sophomore slump" is weighing on the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, he sure does a great job of disguising it.

LOL :cam:

This is big:

His touch and accuracy are much better.

With big-armed quarterbacks, it is often difficult to get them to vary ball speed. Newton has made major progress from his rookie season in this area. During practice, he eased off the gas on underneath throws and his accuracy improved as a result. When he did need to fit the ball into a tight window down the field, he was able to crank up the velocity, but he's beginning to understand that the fastball isn't always required.
