He has some impressive company, as Peyton Manning did it for the Indianapolis Colts in 1998. Newton is also just the second rookie in NFL history to throw for more than 300 yards in his team’s season opener. In fact, only five other players even had a 300-yard passing game in their NFL debuts, most recently done by Ryan Fitzpatrick for the St. The previous record was 346 by Otto Graham for the Cleveland Browns in 1950.
