It's More Than Cam vs. Peyton in Super Bowl 50 - Even the casual football fan should know that the Carolina Panthers are led by Cam Newton and the Denver Broncos by Peyton Manning and that the quarterbacks will meet in Super Bowl 50 on February 7. Newton has dazzled the entire year, airing it out with his arm, buying time with his legs, leaping over defenses llke Superman and dabbing in the end zone. While the 2015 NFL MVP-favorite Newton, 26, is in his prime, Manning, 39, is the oldest quarterback to ever lead a team to the Super Bowl. That being said, while the focus will be on the two star QBs, there are plenty of other players to keep an eye on during Super Bowl 50. Here, BET.com shines the spotlight on the other guys.(Photos from left: Streeter Lecka/Getty Images, Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

Von Miller, Denver Broncos - Cam Newton isn't the only one in Super Bowl 50 that could dance. Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller got plenty of moves, too, and he's likely to put them on display if he sacks Newton come February 7. Miller is as disruptive a linebacker in the NFL that there is with his five tackles and 2.5 sacks during the AFC title game as proof.(Photo: Justin Edmonds/Getty Images)

Josh Norman, Carolina Panthers - Brash with bravado for days, Josh Norman could very well be the best cornerback in the National Football League today. While Cam Newton is the face of the Carolina Panthers, Norman anchors its air-tight defense and he'll definitely be preying on Peyton Manning, waiting for the veteran to make a mistake.

Demaryius Thomas, Denver Broncos - The Denver Broncos' wide receiver's mom was recently granted clemency by President Obama, getting a chance to finally watch her son play earlier this month after serving 16 years in prison on drug-trafficking charges. Wouldn't it be special if Demaryius Thomas salutes his mom by winning Super Bowl 50? (Photo: Justin Edmonds/Getty Images)

Ted Ginn Jr., Carolina Panthers - Before the 2015 NFL season began, the word was the Carolina Panthers were low on firepower with their wide receivers. Well, 44 receptions for 739 yards and 10 touchdowns later and Ted Ginn Jr. proved that wrong. Now, the veteran wide receiver has a chance to show out on the biggest football stage of them all... Super Bowl 50. Don't sleep on Jr. (Photo: Jamie Squire/Getty Images)

Demarcus Ware, Denver Broncos - Eleven years in the league, chomping at the bit to win a Super Bowl and now Demarcus Ware will have his opportunity. The longtime dominant defensive end could win his first ring. Expect the tears to flow from the nine-time Pro Bowler and future Hall of Famer if that happens. He has been waiting for this moment his entire life.(Photo: Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)

Thomas Davis, Carolina Panthers - Want to know how bad Thomas Davis wants a Super Bowl ring? Well, the Carolina Panthers fractured his right forearm during Sunday night's NFC title game, yet is vowing to play in Super Bowl 50 in two weeks on February 7. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but Davis's passion and hunger, though? Unbelievable. (Photo: Grant Halverson/Getty Images)

Aqib Talib, Denver Broncos - Josh Norman might have a little bit more popularity to his name these days, but Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib is every bit as dominating at the position and expects to make Cam Newton's life awfully difficult on February 7.(Photo: Andrew Weber/Getty Images)

Jonathan Stewart, Carolina Panthers - Jonathan Stewart could very well be the most-underrated running back in all of football. The Carolina Panthers don't seem to mind, as the veteran piled up 989 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the ground this season. Denver's D-line better tighten up.

Ronnie Hillman, Denver Broncos - Ronnie Hillman might not get too much burn in Super Bowl 50, but here's why you should know the name. The 24-year-old running back is actually a product of Snoop Dogg's Youth Football League. Now, that's dope. Props to Snoop, making a difference. If Hillman and the Broncos win, he owes Uncle Snoop a trip to Disney Land. We're just saying...(Photo: Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
