Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton would love to throw the football to veteran Steve Smith next season. Smith, a four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, has been rumored to be on his way out of Carolina. Newton, taking part in Smith's youth football camp on Friday, said he was glad the Panthers took him with the first overall pick because he "wanted to have someone great to throw to." Asked later if he was lobbying for Smith to stay in Carolina, Newton smirked. "Hopefully, he got the message," Newton said.
