Video Shows Cam Newton In Brawl At Youth Football Tournament

Video surfaced Sunday that appeared to show 2015 NFL Most Valuable Player Cam Newton being involved  in a scuffle at a 7-on-7 youth football tournament in Atlanta.

The footage shows Newton, wearing one of his custom-made hats, being shoved by three people near the top of a set of steps before the pushing, shoving and grabbing moves toward a fence line. The video lasts less than 30 seconds before the altercation is broken up by a policeman and event security at the WeBall Sports x DynastyU 7v7 tournament at B.E.S.T. Academy.

Newton, the No. 1 overall pick in 2011 out of Auburn, does not appear to throw any punches in the video and appears to be fending off three other men. There is one punch thrown in Newtons direction, but it is unclear if the punch landed on the former quarterback.

Its also uncertain what prompted the altercation.

Newton, who is from Atlanta, runs the C1N , an organization founded in 2021 which focuses on developing young athletes skills in football by providing opportunities to compete at the highest level through 7-on-7 tournaments and other events, according to Newtons website. The website said the organizations mission is to create an environment that fosters growth and development on and off the field, helping young athletes achieve their goals in football and life.

C1N plays in tournaments across the country.

Newtons 15-and-under team won the championship  at the event.

Attempts to reach Newtons representatives on Sunday night were unsuccessful.
