A great article from yesterday’s AP pool. This one was posted on al.com’s “Sports Flash”. I had heard about Jerious taking a big hit from Crocker, and that he left because he wasn’t feeling well. Good to see that he learned from the hit on the next go round.

Norwood, listed at 5-foot-11 and 204 pounds, is more easily compared with Falcons starter Warrick Dunn than bulky backup T.J. Duckett. Like Dunn, Norwood has great speed and quick cuts.

Norwood also has made an early impression with his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.

“I think he’s a good back,” said Falcons linebacker Ed Hartwell. “I think he will make a great running back in the future, coming up behind Dunn. He’s a real shifty guy. He knows how to play off his blocks and make things happen.”
