Cam Newton is having a season to remember for the Carolina Panthers.

He's put up the numbers and he has his team just one win from the Super Bowl. All told, he's having an MVP-type performance in 2015, but what has been even more impressive is seeing how much he's progressed as as quarterback. And a team leader.

Steve Smith played with Newton for three seasons in Carolina before he signed with the Baltimore Ravens. And while speaking with Colin Cowherd on "The Herd" on Friday, Smith discussed how Newton has become a force of nature in his fifth pro season.
