He grew up in the middle of three brothers in downtown Atlanta in a small house. He is a very generous human being and always gives back to where he came from.

Cam doesn’t just think about himself. He also has football camps for everyone to go to. He goes to schools and gives motivational speeches to young kids.

By some estimates, he’s given out more than 50 footballs so far” Cam has received, thank you letters from kids with ADHD and hearing aides saying that every time the Panthers score a touchdown, they feel like they can do that too. Cam has done so much for kids who have nothing. Including going into a Dicks store filled with school children with no money and who would not be getting Christmas presents and he gave each kid 200$ to spend for their family! How amazing is he? on and off the field. A true man and
