Cam Newton is wasting no time causing a stir in Carolina. Just a few days after getting drafted No. 1 by the Panthers, he revealed that he'd actually prefer to be No. 2 this season. As in, he wants the No. 2 to be his jersey number. Only one problem: Cam's only competition, fellow quarterback/2010 NFL Draft pick Jimmy Clausen, already called dibs on it last year. *sounds the alarm*

"It's mine right now," Clausen said recently, shortly after being told that Newton wants to wear the same number in the NFL as he did at Auburn last year. "We'll see what happens." Sooooo....what's it worth to you, Cam? [via Shutdown Corner]
