It’s always impressive when professional athletes call their shots. From Babe Ruth calling a home run by pointing to the stands to Joe Namath guaranteeing a victory in Super Bowl III, we love it when athletes are confident and are able to back it up.
That’s what Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton did on Sunday, taunting the Green Bay Packers before throwing for a touchdown.
As you can see in the video below, shared by @TheCheckdown on Twitter, Newton calls out the Packers defense:

“You been watching film, huh? That’s cool, watch this…” Newton says before throwing a touchdown pass to RB Christian McCaffrey.
Obviously, that would have been a lot less impressive if he didn’t back it up with a touchdown, but the Packers did get the last laugh, as they lead 14-10 at halftime.
Will the former Auburn star be able to lead a second-half comeback? That remains to be seen, but he’s clearly feeling good and having fun on the field.
