Cam Newton continues to grow his sports media career, as he recently signed a multi-year agreement with ESPN and currently co-hosts the BET series 106 & Sports with CBS Sports personality Ashley Nicole Moss . On3 recently spoke to Newton, and he was asked how being on ESPN and 106 & Sports has helped him grow in the sports media world.

“I’m taking all this opportunity as almost like an internship,” Cam Newton told On3. “I feel like I’m back in school because now you have the opportunity to see how other people work. And I think when you see the [ Stephen A. Smith ]’s when you see the Ashley Nicole’s, when you start to see the Dan Orlovsky ‘s, when you start to see so many different individuals’ preparation, and now you try to implement certain things of your own, it just makes you a better person in regards to on-screen talent.”

Newton appears on the ESPN show First Take with Smith. In August, the former Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots quarterback signed a multi-year agreement with the network to expand his role on the show.
