Elijah Hood has a Cam Newton jersey, and a nickname from QB1. Does he also have a chance?

Posted Jul 30, 2018
Elijah Hood owns a Cam Newton jersey, which is a bit strange since right now he is also a teammate of Cam Newton. Then again, Hood grew up in Charlotte as a Panthers fan, so it’s not really that odd. He also still owns a Carolina Panthers comforter that he has had for years. He has an old Mike Minter jersey, too, one that even now is too big for him. (Charlotte Observer)
