It’s the Olympics season and while everyone is invested in Sha’Carri Richardson and Gabrielle Thomas, fans of the 4 and 1 with Cam Newton have something different to ask Cam Newton this time. Speaking of the Olympics, flag football is making its debut in the LA Olympics in 2028, but people might find that boring. But what if your favorite players were on Team USA?
Newton didn’t hold back from delving into the hypothetical question and chose to address what the fan asked for him. Better yet, he gave out his picks ranging from offense and defense and other skill positions. Do you want to know who Cam Newton’s favorites are? Let’s find that out. The timeline doesn’t matter here because the whole thing is hypothetical.
He started naming fancy names starting with the receiver core. “Megatron [Calvin Johnson], Cheetah [Tyreek Hill], said Newton addressing the most prolific receivers on the team. The funniest part was when Cam was asked to name a QB and he replied with, “Hello?” Maybe Newton still has it in him to play at the highest level.

Cam wants Christian McCaffrey as his running back despite creating some hilarious drama in the past about not getting invited to his wedding. What about the tight ends then? “Travis Kelce or my loyalty would be to Greg Olsen,” replied the ex-Panthers QB. But there’s more because he wasn’t done picking his dream team and needed to make some defensive picks too.
Jaylen Ramsey and Stephon Gilmore are the best in business, or at least that’s what Newton believes. How can we forget about JJ Watt and Myles Garrett, two of the best Defensive Ends in the league? It’s important to note that Myles Garrett won the DOPY over JJ Watt’s brother, TJ Watt. To be honest, the dream team looks good.
But coming back to the offensive side of the ball, let’s talk about what Cam had to say about CMC in a recent episode of 4 and 1.

Newton thinks that McCaffrey didn’t invite him to his wedding with Olivia Culpo. But the straw that broke the camel’s back was when he saw Greg Olsen inebriated like anything, having a blast. Added to that, the other 49ers crew like George Kittle, Brock Purdy, and many others were at the wedding. Even coach Shanahan showed up to the party. That would make anyone envious right?
Cam made a hilarious remark on the video saying, “I wanted to be there bro! I wanted to be like Greg Olsen! From the picture, it looked like they needed some color anyway!” But to McCaffrey’s defense, he did try to reach out to Cam Newton, and guess what? He didn’t get a reply from him.

In an Instagram post, McCaffrey uploaded a transcript of his conversation with Greg Olsen where he said, “If Cam were here. I haven’t got a text back in 4 years. In fact, they just go green now.” So, it’s not like CMC didn’t want him there. Maybe Cam forgot to check his old phone because McCaffrey’s messages went unnoticed.
The post-wedding photos went absolutely viral on the internet and it felt like everyone was having a great time at the wedding. Maybe the photos would have been more fun to see if Cam Newton was there.
