Steve Smith Sr. has some backup.

On Monday, the Carolina Panthers legend expressed his displeasure with former teammate Cam Newton—who labeled the early makings of the 2011 team as a “locker room of losers.” Newton made the comment while discussing the pressures of being a No. 1 overall pick with reigning Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter in New Orleans this past week.
