Cam Newton sends swag bag to young Panthers fan

There was no shortage of excitement Sunday for a die-hard Panthers fan we first told you about in early February.

That's when we introduced you to Kelsey Youngs, who showed up to the Panthers super bowl homecoming in hopes of giving Cam Newton her own soccer trophy.

Now, several weeks later, with the help of Fox 46, Cam is thanking Kelsey.

The star quarterback sent both Kelsey and her sister swag bags, a signed football and a letter commending her for being an "awesome, selfless young lady."

'I thought it was really sweet," Kelsey said. "And I was real excited because it was autographed just by him."

Kelsey she still hopes to give Cam her soccer trophy, even though he encouraged her to keep it as a reminder of the hard work she put in to earn it.
