Cam Newton meets Richmond Tigers
MELBOURNE - While most Americans were focused on the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup this weekend, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had a different type of football on his mind: Australian Rules.
Newton joined the Richmond Tigers of the Australian Football League as part of Gatorade’s Football Exchange Program and was able to make an immediate impact on the club prior to Saturday’s match against Greater Western Sydney.
“He spoke to the leadership group about his experiences and it's been an eye-opener for us and something we've learned a lot out of,” veteran defender Chris Newman told the club website.
Newton accompanied the club during meetings, practice and meals to get a better understanding of how AFL players train and fuel their bodies in preparation for competition.
“The Gatorade Football Exchange is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that provides athletes from American Football and Australian Rules Football an opportunity to immerse themselves in the training and culture of another footballer’s sport,” Gatorade head of sports marketing Jeff Kearney told Panthers.com.
“It allows the athletes to learn about the different forms of football played throughout the world and that athletes from these various sports all share the same formula for success: talent plus hard work plus the right sports fuel.”

I definitely had a chuckle. I think Lids was just distracted and all giddy standing next to Cam Newton and just couldn't get his hands to stick to the ball.

Cam Newton Gatorade ad features Richmond stars Dustin Martin, Brett Deledio
Herald-Sun
September 10, 2015
DUSTIN Martin and Brett Deledio share top billing with the NFL’S $118 million man Cam Newton in a new US commercial for Gatorade.
Newton, who signed a $118 million (US) contract with the Carolina Panthers in June, spent a week at Punt Rd trying his hand at Aussie rules.
He freely admits: “I can honestly say I don’t know what I’m doing” — which quickly becomes obvious as he tries kicking and handballing at Richmond training.
The ad features highlights of Richmond’s win against GWS — with Martin and Jack Riewoldt playing starring roles — and Deledio trying to teach Newton some of the finer points of the Australian game.
“AFL as a whole is a very cool sport,” Newton says.
“There’s no question that everyone who’s out there is tough.
“It’s frustrating you can’t just be good at something at first try. ”
