"I knew the bull wouldn't hit him. He avoids contact."
That's Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden savagely roasting his star cornerback, Josh Norman, for his bull-jumping incident in Spain ... and yeah, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN!!
Of course, Norman famously leaped over a bull after the running of the bulls in Pamplona on July 11 ... and the video was intense.
Norman's since gloated about it all, saying he's now considered a hero in Spain ... claiming locals call him "El Saltador" because he's "The Jumper!"
Well, Gruden was asked about the whole ordeal at his press conference Wednesday .
