Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton has landed a major gig with The Worldwide Leader in Sports, ESPN.
While Newton hasn’t officially retired from football, it does appear that this will be it for him as he’s now set to move into mainstream media on the back of his success running his own podcast.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 2015 NFL MVP has signed a deal that will see him join Stephen A. Smith on ‘First Take,’ while he will also work as a commentator for the network.
Newton will make his debut during a live taping at Tennessee State University for their HBCU road show this Friday.
