10. Cam Newton – QB/Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers failed to make it to the Super Bowl this year, but they managed to get back into the postseason and back tot he NFC Divisional Round for a second straight year. That’s impressive given the struggles the team had, and Cam Newton was a stud all year long. Fans rallied behind him all year, from his slow start to after his car accident and into the postseason.
Newton has long been a fan favorite in Carolina and his popularity is only growing as he leads the team to larger success.
