ASHBURN, Va. -- The changes were mostly subtle, once you get beyond the fact that Josh Norman is no longer wearing Carolina Panther gear. He’s now in the Washington Redskins' burgundy and gold, which might still take a minute for some to process.
Mostly, though, Norman is going about his business, a month or so after joining the Redskins. He’s adapting to surroundings, learning different route combinations and dealing with a quarterback who gets a little fired up in spring practices.
But Norman sounds like a guy still in the honeymoon phase.
“I’m excited, oh my gosh I’m super excited,” said Norman, the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback in average salary ($15 million).
