Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton apparently ended up in the middle of a brawl at a 7-on-7 youth football camp on Sunday.
The incident took place at an invitation-only camp and tournament over the weekend in Atlanta.
Details are incomplete at this time and authorities with the local police department have not been available to comment on the incident to USA TODAY Sports.
Video shared on social media showed Newton, while wearing one of his trademark gaudy hats, looking to break up a fight involving two or possibly three people before camp staffers and security officers stepped in to restore order.
Newton, 34, last played in the NFL in the 2021 season, appearing in eight games for the Carolina Panthers.

The 2010 Heisman Trophy winner at Auburn and first overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft, Newton quarterbacked the Panthers for nine of his 10 years as a pro, earning league MVP honors and leading Carolina to the Super Bowl after the 2015 season.
He also played one season in 2020 with the New England Patriots.
What is TSP?
Newton was involved in a fight with members seemingly of TSP (TopShelf Performance), a national 18U 7-on-7 football program. TSP also trains receivers across youth, high school and NFL levels.
