It's becoming pretty difficult to encapsulate the unique skill set Cam Newton possesses.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Corey Brown joins the list of middling scribes.

Brown was asked to describe Newton's athletic makeup, and came up with a unique permutation that may only be possible in a state-of-the-art lab.

"Give me Michael Vick's legs with Tom Brady ... That's something you'd create on Madden," Brown said of Newton to Tyler Dunne of The Buffalo News.

"He's someone nobody has seen."

Newton scored a league-high 45 touchdowns, throwing for 35 while rushing for an additional 10, and is an evolutionary hybrid of a prototypical pocket passer combined with the brute force of a power running back.

In the meantime, Newton's play ought to speak for itself.
