Rookie quarterback Cam Newton said he doesn't care which jersey number he wears for the Carolina Panthers. Newton wore No. 2 in college, the same number second-year quarterback Jimmy Clausen sports for Carolina. "I really don't care. It's just a number to me," Newton told NFL.com. "Gossip sells, and I understand that with people hearing I wore No. 2 in college, and Jimmy [Clausen] has it right now, [but] it's not a big deal to me. I just want to get that out of the way and throw it out there. It's not the number. It's the person wearing it." Clausen has previously said he doesn't plan to give up No. 2. Source: ESPN.com
I remember Reggie Bush coming into the league thinking he was hot crap filing for the NFL to change their rules so he could wear 5. Its just a number and you're not that good.
