Thank you, Cam Newton.
Cunningham, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator of the venerable, is to draw up X's and O and the NFL for three decades. He has seen many trends come and go, knows a thing or two about defining a special talent.
That's why we lost a little sleep this week.
It can not be distracted by the Carolina Panthers 2-7 record. Not with Newton, the sensational rookie quarterback, causing a great talent, ranking sixth in the offensive that has the potential to be a thorn in the side on Sunday at Ford Field.
"It looks like a defensive end," says Cunningham. "The flex time at wide receiver in a wild look. I saw him block (Tim) Jennings of Chicago. That was overthrown. Jennings got up and knocked him down again."
