There were plenty of times last year the Panthers probably wanted to put Cam Newton in bubble wrap.
So yesterday, he decided to do it himself.
The Panthers quarterback posted a video to Instagram of him hurling himself at friends, while wearing a giant inflatable plastic ball.
The bubble-suit-thing he’s wearing might have come in handy when he was getting ribs broken in the preseason, or suffering broken bones in his back during a late-season car wreck.
It doesn’t appear to have limited his mobility, but throwing the ball might be difficult in the get-up.
And if nothing else, it has to be safer than Tom Brady cliff diving, since Newton’s already wearing his own airbag/life raft.
