Josh Norman 'won't break rank,' defends debut season with Redskins

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman isn’t going to worry about which side of the field he’s on or whether he’s covering the opposition’s top receiver. And he’s certainly not paying attention to anyone critical of his 2016 season.

Norman didn’t make the Pro Bowl last year, his first season with Washington after being named All-Pro the previous year in Carolina. The Redskins’ defense wasn’t good last season, finishing 28th in total yards and 21st in points allowed.

But Norman said he didn’t think people understood what the secondary did at times, himself in particular.
