A once promising season took a turn for the worst last year for Jordan Norwood. A torn ACL in the preseason crushed what could’ve been a career year for him.
It was the same old song and dance for the veteran wideout/return specialist: struggle, overcome, somewhat succeed. Rinse, repeat.
After having an impressive training camp and an eye-opening preseason in 2014, Norwood was a virtual lock to make the roster. There was even talk of him getting in on some first-team offensive action.
In fact, that’s exactly what happened, as he actually caught a pass from quarterback Peyton Manning in their Week Two preseason matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
