Two receptions on two attempts for 40 yards. He is proving his sure handedness. Nice to hear he is getting PT. Panthers beat Steelers.

He was touted coming out of Alabama as having a large catch radius, and being able to win contested catches, but Wilson doors not like to throw to receivers unless they have classical separation, unless they are named Kearse. Norwood is an inch taller than Kearse.
I strongly doubt that Norwood got a chance to demonstrate his special skills unless the coaches asked Wilson to throw him contested balls for demonstration purposes.
Has anyone knowledge that they did?
I think he is better than Kearse, an inch taller, and with FAR more reliable hands.
I think we let the wrong one get away.

Have you seen Kevin Smith's insane catching radius or Kasen Williams' aggressiveness in fighting for the football?
They gave Norwood an opportunity, by keeping him on the roster last year and playing him more snaps in the preseason than any other WR on the roster. They decided he was not as good as some other players and got value for him.
