Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders raised some eyebrows when he said Carolina's Josh Norman has "talked his way into the media" as one of the NFL's elite cornerbacks.
"I think you have to be pretty darn good at what you do to talk your way into this spotlight," Norman responded Thursday. "If you're not good, you're not recognized as one of the best. I don't know where he gets that from. I haven't been hearing much abut him, so obviously he may want to go back and practice some more."

Norman said he wasn't surprised by Sanders' comment, adding the media is trying to perpetuate the verbal barbs.
