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 made a lot of people angry at his reaction following the Panthers’ loss in Super Bowl 50, but one man who wasn’t upset was Peyton Manning. Appearing on NBC’s Today show, Manning said that Newton “couldn’t have been nicer” to him at midfield when the two met, adding “he was extremely humble.”
Newton might not have been in good spirits with the media in his postgame interview, but towards other players he gave a lot of respect.
