Red flags are: painting your nails, crying to your momma, asking for ownership of the team who is about to draft you, refusing medical exams at the combine...

You’re remembering what you want to remember. Take a look here. This is from his official draft profile courtesy of NFL.com:

He's competitive and vocal on the field, but has had several off-the-field issues and his character is in question.

Numerous off the field issues worth investigating

Here is an article also highlighting his off-the-field issues:
Quote:
"Cam Newton's character has been repeatedly called into question. We have accusations of him and his father shopping him around to the school with the fattest wallet. We have accusations of academic fraud, grand theft, obstruction of justice and destruction of someone else's laptop.”
"That's a whole lot of red flags…”

Cam Newton started his collegiate career at the University of Florida, playing two seasons there (2007 - 2008). However, he chose to transfer from Florida following an arrest after he bought a stolen computer in November 2008. The charges were later dropped in December 2009.
Per FoxSports.com, Newton also breached the school's honor code by putting his name on another peer's work and turning it in as his own

On top of that, Newton did have a long and successful career. He was washed by his 30th birthday, but he still scored 250 TDs before then, in just eight NFL seasons. This ****er averaged 30+ TDs for nearly a decade, won an MVP and was the engine that drove a shitty franchise to a Super Bowl.
