What was going through quarterback Cam Newton’s mind when he left his feet on first-and-goal late in the third quarter and suddenly found himself airborne and upside down? “I’m very passionate about mentoring young people, and this show will be the ideal opportunity to help talented kids get the chance to pursue their dreams”, Newton said in the release.
Scheduled to air in 2016, the 20-episode series will shoot after the Panthers’ season.
Newton won the 2010 Heisman Trophy and was selected by the Panthers as the top overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. “And to be able to do it all on Nickelodeon – a network I grew up watching – is extremely exciting”. In each episode, Newton helps two kids get their wishes, with assistance from expert mentors.
“…decorating award-winning cakes to making it to a Broadway stage.”
