Despite this success, ex-NFL star Cam Newton left out Hurts from his top 10 quarterbacks list last week. Newton's comments about Hurts did not sit well with retired 6x Pro Bowler Terrell Owens.

After Owen called out Newton on social media, the 2015 NFL MVP responded to him on Wednesday's episode of his '4th & 1' show.

"The next person that I will go to is Terrell Owens," Newton said. "Terrell Owens, I can say so much about you and I will not. Because, at the end of the day, we all know that you don't have the best relationships with your quarterbacks. Me being a quarterback, I'm just going to leave it at that." (TS-4:49)
