Josh Norman is wasting no time running his mouth about his new NFC East rivals.
Last season, new Redskins cornerback Josh Norman faced Sam Bradford when he was still with the Carolina Panthers. It wasn't Bradford's best game: 26 of 46, 205 yards, 4.5 yards per attempt, 0 TDs, 1 INT, 58.7 QB rating.
As usual, the Eagles' receivers didn't help much either that night:
In an ESPN interview, Norman revealed that he has no respect for Sam Bradford, and can't wait to face him twice per season.
"Have you ever once been one of the top 20 quarterbacks in the league? Not that I remember -- and you want more money? I can't wait to play him twice a year."I mean, Norman isn't wrong, but ouch. The "want more money" part is of course in reference to Bradford signing a lucrative two-year contract, and then throwing a hissy-fit when the Eagles traded up to the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Norman will get his chance to face Bradford and the rest of the NFC East's offenses, but he'll have to do it playing behind a front seven that is nowhere near as good as the one he played behind in Carolina.
