Cam Newton has always been something of an NFL style icon (or rebel) and his latest outfit is the perfect fix for thirsty Westworld fans still reeling from last Sunday's season finale.

Speaking to the press Sunday afternoon after the Carolina Panthers' victory over the San Diego Chargers, Newton chowed up to his post-game press conference in a long sweater, checkered shirt, scarf and fedora. He certainly looked the part for an immersive robotic experience.

And Twitter users didn't miss a beat (though, if you haven't watched or finished season one of Westworld, beware a spoiler or two).

And, like Westworld, there's a twist! Consider this previous outfit worn by Cam, which one must assume is from a future timeline.
