One-time NFL MVP Cam Newton was involved in a brawl at his 7-on-7 youth football tournament in Atlanta. 

A video that has since gone viral surfaced online showing the former Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots quarterback tussling with several men at the event over the weekend at the We Ball Sports x DynastyU 7v7 tournament at B.E.S.T. Academy. 

Newton appeared to be trying to break up a fight before multiple men began attacking him. The assailants appeared to be from Top Shelf Performance, who reportedly had teams playing at the event.

The video shows Newton fend off multiple attackers, all while keeping his hat firmly in place. A police officer and security eventually manage to stop the brawl. There were no reports of serious injuries or arrests. 

Despite the mele, Newton’s C1N Red team won the tournament.  

Social media users had a field day once footage of the brawl surfaced online. 

“Cam Newton took one dude & tossed him off stage, then proceeded to put one dude in a bear hug while grabbing another by the dreads & slung him like a kid all while his hat never came off his head. Stop thinking y’all can put hands on pro athletes!!!” wrote one X user. 

“Cam Newton led Auburn to a Natty with 1 O-lineman that started an NFL game and no one else recording a NFL reception, rush attempt or pass attempt,” added another. “He’s used to being a one man army, so you are delulu if you thought some guys jumping him was gonna phase him. Hat didn’t even move.” 

Meanwhile, Shannon Sharpe weighed in on the altercation on his Nightcap podcast with Chad Ochocinco. Sharpe called the kids “ungrateful” and compared Newton’s camp to his peers.  

Peyton and Eli [Manning] been having a camp for twenty-something years. You ain’t never seen no kid be disrespectful to Peyton and Eli.
