GLENDALE, Ariz.—Cam Newton took the snap on third down and it was like he'd never left the Carolina Panthers. The quarterback got moving in a hurry in his blue, black, and silver jersey, barreled into the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown, ripped off his helmet, and screamed “I’m back!” as his teammates celebrated around him.

Superman maybe a few years older, but he’s still got a flair for the dramatic.
