Molly Qerim received the ultimate praise from her colleague and former NFL star Cam Newton.

The ESPN First Take co-host is known for her hot takes and moderating the boisterous Stephen A. Smith. She’s also known for slaying her fits like her recent elegant Cleopatra vibe full-length dress, and her baller Godfather mink coat, and her Canadian tuxedo leg-flaunting hit.

She’s also shown she can slay a workout and how she keeps that TV-ready figure of hers in some black minishorts, and in an ab-revealing white crop top stunner.

One of the new talents on the show is former Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl quarterback Cam Newton, who is much taller than Qerim as this jarring photo shows. Since coming aboard, Newton has learned a lot from her and he took to his 4th&1 With Cam Newton podcast to sing her praises, going as far as calling he a “‘f***ing beast.”

Newton said she does her job “at a high level” and “let’s not get distracted by how she look rather than what she’s actually bringing to the table.”

He talked about the remarkable talent she has to be able to tee up someone like Stephen A., calling her a “game changer.”

Qerim took notice and commented, “Appreciate you Cam … grateful to be teammates 🙏.”

That’s some high-level praise right there and well-deserved as well for the 40-year-old Emmy Award-winning Qerim.
