On Sunday, Cam Newton promptly called out a trash-talking kid who seemingly squandered an opportunity to improve on his talents at the NFA 7v7 East Regional football camp. The incident was caught on video and soon began doing the rounds on social media. The action begins with Newton walking towards the sidelines when the young player repeatedly yells "you a free agent" to Newton.

The quarterback, who heard the dig from the crowd, then responded with "I'm rich." The heckler then shouts "you're washed up" and "poor" before the 31-year-old asks where the youngster's father so that he could speak with him.

Newton later responded to the incident on Instagram, explaining why he asked about the boy's father and his motivation to participate in the football camp. The post also included an extended video of Newton's interaction with the young player.

However, several other NFL stars have hammered the young heckler on social media, while praising Newton for the way he handled the situation. Cowboys star Dez Bryant took to Twitter and wrote, "Cam, you should have sent his a** home". Three-time Super Bowl champion and NFL icon Shannon Sharpe also expressed his feelings over the incident and added, "Cam should’ve asked him to leave. The kid thinks he’s being funny, cute, but he’s being super disrespectful. This isn’t the 1st time kid has gotten outta pocket with an adult. Remember our parents would say behave be respectful when dropping us off somewhere. I miss that. SAD.
