It wasn't my intention to do that, but trying to fight Auburn legend and former NFL MVP Cam Newton might not be such a great idea.
In fact, it's probably one of the stupidest things you can try. After all, Newton is 6-foot-5 and regularly ran over larger defenders with ease throughout his illustrious career.
But that's exactly what happened at a 7-on-7 event in Atlanta, a clip that went viral on the internet Sunday afternoon.
Cam Newton was jumped by six people.
The man continued to process each of them and follow them step by step.

Newton didn't even lose his trademark hat throughout the brawl.
At the moment, not much is known about the incident other than the fact that the brand “We Ball Sports” was only hosting an annual invitational. 7 on 7 flag football tournament Winners receive prizes of up to $5,000.
There was also a slightly longer clip showing the outcome of the incident.

Many on Twitter believe the group Newton was competing against was the “TSP Crew,” which stands for “Top Shelf Performance” and is a national 18U 7v7 program, possibly one of the teams participating in the event. It was determined that there is.
Fans will be looking forward to hearing from Newton himself exactly what happened in Atlanta on Sunday.
