Cam Newton expected to attend Panthers’ playoff game, will hit the Keep Pounding drum
On Wednesday, the Panthers posted a teaser for Saturday’s game against the Rams that included a unique font in the caption and a familiar voice. That voice was former quarterback and Panthers legend Cam Newton, who’s expected to be the drummer ahead of kickoff.
It’s the first game Newton will attend at Bank of America Stadium since his final game as a player in 2021, during his second stint with the organization. Newton hasn’t been on the best terms with his former team over the last few years, but it seems time heals all wounds.
The Panthers, meanwhile, believe they have themselves a new franchise quarterback in Bryce Young, who earlier this season broke Newton’s single-game passing record. After hearing the news, Young noted it was “definitely an honor” and soon after Newton showed his respects as well.
“From one Carolina Panther, who once was, to a current Carolina Panther – I’m proud of you, bro,” Newton said on on his 4th&1 YouTube show. “Keep rocking and rolling.”
On Saturday, Newton will lead the “Keep Pounding” chant and be in the building supporting the young quarterback making his first playoff start. And Newton won’t be the only legend in attendance.
Mini 10-year reunion for Panthers hosting a playoff game once again
Along with Newton, two other members of the 2015 Super Bowl team will be at Bank of America Stadium, although for other reasons, making it a little mini 10-year reunion.
Former tight end Greg Olsen will be commentating the game as part of Fox’s broadcast team and former linebacker and soon-to-be Hall of Famer Luke Kuechly will be up in the booth as well calling the game for Panthers’ radio network.
The atmosphere is going to be absolutely electric and the Panthers are hoping that kind of energy can lead to the team’s first playoff win since that historic 2015 season.
