Panthers GM Dave Gettleman said CB Josh Norman came back from his 2012 rookie-year benching as a "different kid."
Norman, the No. 143 pick out of Coastal Carolina last year, started the first 12 games but rode the bench for the final four weeks. Entering the league, Norman had a reputation for "guessing routes," and that's what got him in trouble as a rookie. As it stands right now, he's Carolina's No. 1 corner. The feeling inside the organization is Norman can develop into a top-tier cover man. Apr 21 - 12:07 PM

Josh Norman - DB - Panthers

Panthers rookie RCB Josh Norman was benched for performance in Sunday's Week 14 win over the Falcons.

Coach Ron Rivera explained afterwards that he "wanted to look at other players," although it's no secret that Norman has struggled all year in pass coverage. And despite being picked on routinely, Norman has failed to capitalize with big plays. He has one interception and no forced fumbles on the season.

Josh Norman - DB - Panthers

ESPN NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas suggests fifth-round CB Josh Norman showed well enough at OTAs that the Panthers believe he could start as a rookie.

Per Yasinskas, the coaching staff and Steve Smith have been "raving" about Norman to the point where they believe he could end up starting opposite Chris Gamble, moving Captain Munnerlyn to nickel back. It sounds like Norman may have already passed Brandon Hogan and Darius Butler on the early depth chart.

Josh Norman - DB - Panthers

Panthers signed No. 143 overall pick CB Josh Norman to a four-year contract.

A playmaker and shutdown corner at small school Coastal Carolina, Norman may need a year of adjustment at the NFL level. He's expected to push Captain Munnerlyn, Darius Butler, and Brandon Hogan for playing time opposite Chris Gamble.

Josh Norman - DB - Panthers

Panthers selected Coastal Carolina CB Josh Norman with the No. 143 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft.

Norman starred locally as a shutdown corner garnering all-conference and All-American honors the past three seasons. Norman gets high grades for instincts and the ability to "high-point" the ball, but he also developed a reputation for guessing routes at the East-West Shrine. Coming from a small school, Norman will have to prove he can take on more than a nickel and special teams role in the NFL.
