Super Cam: Auburn legend Cam Newton leads NFL in 1 important category over last decade
By Adam Spencer
Published:
Former Auburn QB Cam Newton was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft and was the NFL MVP in 2015.
So, while it might seem like he’s been ineffective and injured the last few years, he’s still a great player. And, his longevity has been impressive.
He’s been especially good as a runner. On Monday night against the Buffalo Bills, Newton ran for his 12th touchdown of the season. That gives him 70 rushing touchdowns since he entered the league, which is the most in the NFL:

Considering all the star running backs we’ve seen in over the past 10 years, that’s even more impressive of a feat from Newton.
How many more does he have left in him before the season ends next week?
