1. Drake
Watching Cam’s rise to the top has been amazing. He has been able to build a brand that speaks to success and accomplishments. In his rookie year, Newton broke numerous rookie and all-time NFL records for passing and rushing yards. He became the first NFL quarterback to throw for 400 yards in his first game, shattering Peyton Manning’s first-game record by 120 yards. As a comparison, Drake dropped Take Care, his sophomore project, and it went platinum. In 2012, he embarked on the top grossing tour of the year. It made $42 million. These two individuals have managed to carve a space out for themselves into pop culture driven by skill and developing a brand. Let’s see if Cam can add Super Bowl-winning quarterback to his list of accomplishments tonight.
