Cam Newton walks off podium in press conference

It's a horrible duty but Cam Newton could have handled his post-match press conference with a touch more grace and poise.

A clearly and rightfully disappointed Newton was forced to confront a ravenous media pack after his Carolina Panthers lost Super Bowl 50.

The NFL MVP sat in his chair answering monosyllabically for the majority of the interview before jumping up and leaving the stage.

The walk off was not well received by NFL pundits.

It had not been a happy day for Newton. His Panthers were heavily favoured to win the day but the Broncos defence proved too good.

Newton himself was sacked seven times, two of them leading to touch downs for the Broncos.
