AUBURN, Ala. – Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton spent part of Christmas Day dishing out green beans. Or "Santa beans" as he called them.The Auburn quarterback said Wednesday he spent about two hours at Turner Field in Atlanta serving homeless people for Hosea Feed the Hungry, a nonprofit organization affiliated with the Martin Luther King Jr. People's Church of Love.Newton says he posed for some pictures but for the most part "had to step outside of Cam Newton the athlete and step into Cam Newton the human being and the person that is very caring."He says it was an "eye-opener" and something he wants to do again soon.Newton says the trip home to Atlanta was nice after a whirlwind when he won the Heisman and the Davey O'Brien and Maxwell awards.He says his family won't let all that get to him.
Story I heard was that he took the green beans and sold them at street skreet value to some South Carolina fans who were in town for the Peach-Fil-A Bowl...
Cecil shopped him around to the highest paying homeless feeding event.....but cam had no idea.
The going rate was anywhere from .29 to .69 cents a can. Cam is no rented mule.
He was gonna feed the homeless in Columbus or Montgomery, but the 'money was too great' at Atlanta.
I heard he worked at the soup kitchen a couple years back but they kicked him out when they caught him with someone else's ladel
I heard he threw the ladle out the window when questioned.
You people disappoint me letting this little gem go ignored for three days...
We all saw it and were waiting for you to add something to the conversation.
