He's guided the Panthers to a remarkable 14-1 record, winning the NFC South and placing himself squarely at the forefront of the conversation for NFL Most Valuable Player.
Now Newton has even more reason to celebrate. He's become a father, as he revealed Wednesday.
My longtime girlfriend and I were extremely blessed to have a son last week. Our family is excited and thank you all for the well wishes!

Newton also explained on Twitter why he didn't announce the news sooner.
I've been quiet about this because I didn't want to create a distraction for my team and appreciate the privacy in this joyous time.

Hopefully, the newest Newton will let his daddy get some sleep. After all, the Panthers have a big game against Tampa Bay on Sunday with a No. 1 playoff seeding at stake.
