Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton was captured on video in a brawl with several guys.
According to TMZ, the video showed several guys jumping on Newton.
He tried to hold them back without taking his own swing.
They spun, and another guy in a white tee walked over and threw a punch at Newton.
However, the punch missed Newton and landed on another guy.
Newton is no slouch, so he fended off his attackers long enough for other people to step in and help–including a copy who forced several brawlers to back away from him.
What Caused The Brawl With Cam Newton?
So far, it’s unclear what caused the brawl.
We know that it happened at Atlanta’s B.E.S.T. Academy 6-12.
Newton was present for an event from his foundation C1N, a 7v7 league playing tournaments countrywide.
From another angle, you can see some of the brawlers shoving Newton around before they flew off into a tree-covered area.

I'm not saying a professional athlete can't be had in a fight, but Cam Newton? This Cam Newton, who used to make other world class athletes look like children. You won't find many more impressive athletes, ever. pic.twitter.com/A2jqex7tni

People don't have awareness at all. You dont fight Cam Newton. He's 6'5 270 and communicates in Wingdings whilst dressed like the Wicked Witch Of the West.

The footage is grainy, but are we sure that's not Kelvin Benjamin and Ed Hochuli?
He might not be old enough to get that call, but Cam's got what appears to be old man strength, out here tossing cats out of the club. And the hat never moved. https://t.co/kVilUsYzSP
