Panthers great Cam Newton takes flight (literally) in wild helicopter extraction challenge

Superman took flight.

Carolina Panthers legend Cam Newton showed off his hops and upper-body strength on this past week’s season premiere of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. The quarterback-turned-special forces agent (at least for the purposes of this FOX reality television series) was tasked with completing a helicopter extraction challenge—one he most definitely aced . . .

That effort should be a familiar sight for Panthers fans, who watched the former Most Valuable Player leap and power his way through defenders for nearly a decade. Despite some strong pushes of late from Buffalo’s Josh Allen and Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts, Newton still holds the NFL record for most career rushing touchdowns (75) by a quarterback.

In case you couldn’t figure it out from that impressive helicopter extraction, Newton successfully passed his way through the first episode of the season.
