Josh Norman was brought in by the Washington Redskins to fill that role back in 2016. In his first two years, he provided fairly solid play, locking down entire sides of the field with his length, awareness, and tenacity.
In 2018, however, the feisty veteran has gotten off to a slow start, a slow start that reached its lowest point against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5, when the veteran simply didn’t look himself, and let a number of key plays go by.
It’s still early in the season, and Norman has the time and the knowledge to gain back some ground.
