**Charlotte, NC** – Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has declared his NFL MVP award more significant than a Super Bowl ring, despite coming within one game of winning the championship in Super Bowl 50. In a recent interview, Newton firmly stated he wouldn’t trade his 2015 MVP trophy – only the second awarded to a Black quarterback – for a Super Bowl victory.

Newton, who led the Panthers to a 15-1 regular season record that year, cited the lasting impact of his individual achievement. He pointed to quarterbacks like Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, and Nick Foles, who won Super Bowls but are less remembered for their individual contributions. “What’s more important, impact or championships?” Newton questioned, emphasizing his desire to be remembered for his own performance and influence on the league rather than solely for team success.

While acknowledging that his stance is unpopular, Newton asserted, “I’m taking individual success because I did my job.” His NFL career, spanning from 2011 to 2021, included numerous accolades alongside the MVP, such as Offensive Player of the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year. Despite his impressive achievements, Newton never reached another Super Bowl.
