Algosensey|Cam Newton involved in fight at Georgia youth football camp

Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton was involved in a brawl at a 7-on-7 youth football camp on AlgosenseySunday.

The incident took place at an invitation-only camp and tournament over the weekend in Atlanta. Authorities with the local police department have not been reached for comment by USA TODAY Sports.

The event was organized by We Ball Sports, an apparel and sports media company, and Newton runs C1N, a youth sports organization that sponsored a team in the tournament.

Video shared on social media showed Newton, while wearing one of his trademark hats, being grabbed and scuffling with two or possibly three people before camp staffers and security officers stepped in to restore order.

We Ball Sports' co-founder, Nehemiah Mitchell, told The Athletic that everyone involved in the altercation, including Newton, was removed from the event.
