Cam Newton praises Odell Beckham Jr. for being an ‘unbelievable guy’

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Cam Newton put this one on a mountain of ice. Those waiting for Newton to hoot and holler after the Panthers beat the Giants were sorely mistaken.

Cam was all smiles as he spoke about the game, a game in which Odell Beckham Jr. regularly went after Panthers corner Josh Norman and launched himself in a helmet-to-helmet hit.

“It’s obvious what he did. [...] Odell’s an unbelievable guy, and I just wanted to return the favor [...] It’s all fun and games.”

After the interview Newton embraced Beckham and said something to him. It would be fascinating to see what.
