Cam Newton towers over ESPN colleagues Molly Qerim, Ryan Clark in jarring photo

The former NFL star quarterback and new regular on “First Take” is much taller than his co-workers.

Cam Newton is officially part of the First Take team as a regular on the show co-hosted by Molly Qerim and Stephen A. Smith.

The former Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots quarterback is fitting right in — or at least trying to with his bold fits and large frame.

In a post by Qerim showing off another fantastic fit of hers, the 35-year-old Newton is seen with her and ESPN NFL analyst Ryan Clark. The photo is jarring just how much bigger Newton is than his two colleagues.

Wow, that’s a big height difference. Newton stands 6-foot-5, while Qerim is 5-foot-6 and Clark 5-foot-11. Newton looks like an NBA player more so than a football star — which with that size he could’ve been.

Newton was pretty amazing at football though. He won a national championship for the Auburn Tigers, as well as a Heisman trophy, in 2010. During his NFL career he threw for 32,382 and 194 touchdowns. He appeared in one Super Bowl with the Panthers in a loss to Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in 2016.

He also stands out because of how he’s dressed — but that’s always been Cam. Now we just need to see him standing next to the show’s other co-host, 6-foot-1 Stephen A. Smith.
