8. Josh Norman, cornerback, Washington Redskins
Sherman is not the only cornerback rubbing lots of folks the wrong way. Norman also owns a portion of that niche market.
After a big final season with the Carolina Panthers, the team let him walk under curious circumstances. Washington soon offered Norman a gigantic deal, making him the highest-paid player at his position.
Now if only he would just do his job and remain humble. But sadly, Norman cannot.
He flew off the handle when he found out he was going to be randomly drug tested after his team lost to Dallas this past season. He reportedly screamed at his trainer and provided this public rant.
“Life. And how I feel [about] having this drug test right after the game. I don’t understand it, I really don’t … I don’t have anything left in the tank, yet they do this drug testing. It’s crazy. I don’t understand it.”
Being drug tested is part of the playing in this league. The NFL was just exercising its legal right to perform random drug tests.
The young corner also was fined for trash-talking one of the league’s referees during this past season’s London game.
Norman is good at what he does, but his mouth is going to continually getting him into trouble if he keeps spouting off without a filter.
