Cam Newton is dominating the NFL this season much like he dominated the SEC and college football in 2010.

The comparisons are obvious in the records of his college and NFL teams. In 2010, Newton led Auburn to a 14-0 record and a national championship. This season, Newton guided Carolina to a 14-0 start and the Panthers are favored to win next Sunday’s Super Bowl.

Blessed with an extraordinary combination of speed, size, power and athleticism, the 6-foot-5, 245-pound quarterback is heavier than 52 percent of the defenders trying to stop him.

His impact on his college and pro teams is undeniable.

In 2009, the year before Newton played his only season at Auburn, the Tigers were 8-5 overall and 3-5 in the SEC, including a loss to Kentucky. In 2011, the first year without Newton, the Tigers fell back to 8-5.

In 2010, the year before Carolina drafted Newton, the Panthers were 2-14. Since Newton arrived, the Panthers are 47-32-1 in the regular season. Since improving first to 6 then 7 victories in Newton’s first two seasons, the Panthers have made the playoffs three straight years.
