Cam Newton's Twitter Account Gets Hacked, Tweets 'Overrated' to Richard Sherman

As if battling for a playoff spot wasn't stressful enough, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton now has to worry about his Twitter account being targeted by hackers.

On Tuesday afternoon, Newton's Twitter feed featured some pretty bizarre tweets.

He called Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman "overrated"? Although it may be funny to see that come from Newton's account, that tweet pretty much gave it away that he had been hacked.

The Panthers were quick to let everyone know that their franchise quarterback's account had indeed been compromised.

Newton sent out a tweet after practice to let everyone know he was back in control of his account.

Just finished practice and heard I was hacked. Thanks to the .@Panthers and .@twitter for helping me get back online!

The tweets have since been deleted, but Newton will want to make sure all of his social media accounts are secure. 

Apparently, hackers were able to gain access even after Newton supposedly gained control.
