"I think he played the position in a different way than a lot of people do, and the guys around him rallied around him. I had another one late, I think in the third or fourth, I had a safety one-on-one. I know Cam probably would have [taken] him on and tried to score. Yeah, I got to meet him through the process. I'm a big fan. He was my favorite player growing up, so pretty cool."
"But yeah, just that season. I think they were 15-1. I was at that NFC Championship game at home, big time win. Just being a fan of Cam [Newton] was probably the biggest memory, him coming out here, doing the airplane and hitting 'The Cam.'"
"I went to the Super Bowl when they lost to Peyton Manning, and that was tough,"
"I don't show much emotion out there, probably need to show more. Times when I do, yeah - it's a fun loving position."
Drake Maye grew up a Cam Newton and Carolina Panthers fan and attended Carolina's 2016 Super Bowl run. Maye described memorable moments watching Newton, including the NFC Championship win and Newton's signature airplane and 'The Cam' celebrations. Maye paid tribute by performing Newton's 'Superman' celebration after scoring against the Panthers. After criticism from Newton and several ESPN personalities in recent weeks, Maye scaled back visible tributes and modified pregame behavior. Maye emphasized admiration for Newton's playing style, competitiveness, and leadership while acknowledging a tendency to show less emotion on the field.
