The Panthers don’t play until next weekend, though Cam Newton is already raring to go.

Newton always has had a flare for some unique wardrobe pieces, including his capri pants and his sock-less loafers when worn addressing the press.
Apparently Newton caught wind of the buzz regarding his choice of workout clothes. He went on to explain the tights, per Jones, and Ian Rapoport at NFL.com jumped on the bandwagon as well.
I'm wearing mine now, too RT @jjones9: Cam Newton on his tights: "They're recovery stockings. If any day to recover, why not today"

Fortunately for Newton, after helping lead the Panthers through a successful 15-1 campaign and earning a first-round bye, he can pretty much wear anything he darn well thinks will help keep in tip-top shape approaching next week’s game.
Just watch, this will be the next trend in men’s winter workout gear.
