Cam Newton's teammates react to his new baby's name, 'Chosen'
Cam Newton and his girlfriend welcomed a son into the world over the holidays, and the couple chose a very unique name for the boy: Chosen Sebastian Newton.
Newton has talked only a little bit about his new baby while the Carolina Panthers prepare for the playoffs, but he's officially going public with the name by wearing it on his practice shirt:

So why the name "Chosen?" Newton has yet to explain the cool choice, but a couple of teammates reacted to it.
"That's different and unique, just like him," cornerback Josh Norman told ESPN. "Everybody has their way of doing things. He has his."
The best response came from receiver Jerricho Cotchery, who has four kids of his own. From ESPN:
Come on, Cam. The name is awesome and we all want to know the story behind it.
