Cam Newton abruptly walked out of his Wednesday news conference after a question about the Carolina Panthers' ability to consistently get yardage in "big chunks."

Newton paused when asked the question, rolled his eyes and answered with "next question." He then exited.

"Cam didn't intend to be discourteous toward any specific media member," Panthers spokesman Steven Drummond said. "In his mind, after answering questions for nine minutes he had fulfilled his obligations."

Newton's exit came a week after he did not fulfill his weekly media obligations and speak on Wednesday or Thursday.

It also came two weeks after he publicly apologized for making light of a football question from a female reporter, Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer.
