It’s safe to say Josh Norman and Dez Bryant have always had an extensive on-field rivalry, but as many question the Dallas Cowboys receiver, Norman is coming to his defense.
In an appearance on Fox Sports 1’s Undisputed, Norman thinks Bryant can return to being one of the NFL’s best — if he can overcome some mental hurdles.
“He has a lot left in the tank. It’s what he gets out of it, that’s the thing,” Norman said, via SportsDay DFW. “I mean he can be whatever he wants to be.
“I’m not here to down the man, I’m not gonna down him. He plays the game at the highest level. I think for him, it’s all between here [points to brain]. Once he figures that out and once he feels that ‘When I step on the field I’m going to dominate whether it’s Josh Norman or a rookie coming into the league [lined up against me].’ … Everybody’s got to figure that out. I’m still figuring it out. It’s about want-to.”
Norman has traded barbs with Bryant in the past, but the wide receiver has let them go lately. Now Norman’s praising him. Maybe relations are thawing.
