Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton found himself in the midst of a scuffle at a 7-on-7 youth football camp in Atlanta over the weekend, at the Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy.

The incident, which occurred during a tournament, saw Newton, who formerly played for the Carolina Panthers and the New England Patriots, attempting to intervene in a physical altercation involving individuals associated with TSP (TopShelf Performance), a renowned 18U 7-on-7 football program.

Video footage shared on social media depicted Newton, sporting one of his distinctive hats, stepping in to defuse the situation, as camp staff and security personnel swiftly moved in to restore order.
