"I'm going into a different phase of my life that's going to require a different form of myself," Newton said on Special Forces. "Being in the NFL, everyone knows there's a large sum of money that comes to you in a short span of time.
"And being away from the game for three years, those checks don't came in the same. Like I got eight kids. It hurts me knowing that I can't provide like I once did. It hurts thinking that I'm Superman, but in reality, I'm just a man.
"There's a famous quote that says in order to get something that you've never had, you go to do something that you've never done. At 35, I can literally say, 'Okay now I'm getting prepared for this next chapter of my life.'"
