How a young Saints fan duped Cam Newton

Steven Ruiz | USATODAY

Cam Newton is known for giving kids footballs after every Panthers touchdown. It's well known that he exclusively picks out kids wearing Panthers gear, which is valuable information for any devious kid looking for a ball from the 2015 NFL MVP.

According Christopher Dabe of the Times-Picayune, some little genius in New Orleans used that info to nab a ball from Cam:

Unfortunately, FOX did not show any of Cam's post-touchdown giveaways on the broadcast, so there is no footage of this remarkable moment.

What a shame. This kid deserves national recognition for his ingenious plot.
