Cam Newton hops fence to play football with 7th graders, one girl completely loses it
The "Cam Newton really is a darn good guy" tour made an unexpected stop this week.
The Carolina Panthers quarterback surprised a playground full of seventh graders in Davidson, N.C., by hopping the fence and proceeded to toss a football around with them.
One girl was so excited she shouted "Mom, get me, like, a picture" before her words just melted into an exhilarated shriek.

“I saw one girl crying and hyperventilating and when I asked, ‘Sweetheart what’s wrong?’ She said, ‘That was just the best moment of my life,’” teacher Mimi Siadak told WSOC-TV.
Newton said he was driving by and spotted a kid wearing his jersey. So — dressed like the class president in a sweater and khakis — he found a teacher and asked permission to hop the fence and toss the ball around with the kids.
Oh Cam, so appropriate. He posed for pictures, dabbed for 'em, and um, like, ya know, totally compared bracelets.
But wait: It gets better.
The teachers used Cam's appearance as a learning tool, too.
Asked to illustrate personification in a sentence about Cam's visit, one student wrote: “The football grinned with joy when Cam picked it up.”
Looks like Cam's work here is done.
