Cam Newton danced like that because a 16-year-old told him to
Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Cam Newton was given clear instructions on what he needed to do against the Titans -- "Dab on them folks." And dab he did, which infuriated a Titans linebacker and required referees to intervene.
We can’t be sure who Newton is talking about, but there’s a good chance it’s his 16-year-old brother Caylin who gave him the order. Here’s what Cam had to say about it all:
”I’m a firm believer that if you don’t like me to do it then don’t let me in [...] I just like doing it, man. It’s not to be boastful, and from the crowd’s response they like seeing it. [...] Tell me what to do “Dab on them folks,” so I tried “Dab on them folks,” in that tone too. “Dab on them folks.” He’s only like 16, but he’s got an Adam’s apple out of this world.”
Congrats to Cam for his dab, and to Caylin (presumably) for that Adam’s apple.
