Cam Newton has received more letters this football season than some people have in years -- but the latest one, coming from an 8-year-old boy, finally delivers the NFL MVP some words of encouragement.

"He's my friend," Stephen Graham said about Cam. "I just felt like it would make him a little happier."




Angry opposing fans have written open letters to the Carolina Panthers star all season long, on topics ranging from his on-field celebrations to his family. It's safe to say that this letter conveyed a more positive message. Stephen gave Cam a "paper trofy" to help him recover from the Super Bowl loss.

"When a friend falls down, the other friend always picks him up," Graham said.

If only more people around the NFL had that mindset.
