Not wanting to let another opportunity pass him by, NFL quarterback Cam Newton is jumping on the chance to star in his own mobile game.

The quarterback, who took his Carolina Panthers to last year’s Super Bowl, will be featured in an iOS and Android game due out later this year from Nordic publisher Hugo Games.

“As my fans know, I love video games, so to have the opportunity to star in my own game is truly a dream come true,” said Newton, who is keeping the details of the game under wraps for now. “Players can expect the game to be fast paced, exciting, action packed and intense — just like how [I] play professional football.”
