Cam Newton may find himself competing for a starting job with Mac Jones at some point, but the former NFL MVP is not letting that stop him from establishing a friendly relationship with his new teammate.

Newton is known for coming up with nicknames for teammates and coaches, and he already has one for Jones. The rookie told reporters this week that Newton calls him “Mac and cheese.”

Jones also said Newton has been great in helping him transition to the NFL, but let’s focus on the nickname — Mac and cheese? Really?
