Josh Norman calls 2016 his best season as a pro
Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman said in a recent interview with ESPN that 2016 was “By far for me … the best season I’ve had.”
Norman earned All-Pro honors after a standout year in 2016 in Carolina in which he tallied four interceptions, two pick-sixes, forced three fumbles, and ultimately helped Carolina reach Super Bowl 50. His overall grade of 87.9 and his coverage grade of 88.5 ranked the third highest among the league’s corners. He allowed the lowest passer rating of any other cornerback on throws into his coverage and (54.0) and allowed 0.66 yards per cover snap, finishing second only to Patrick Peterson.
