Norman impressed with Redskins WRs

Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman isn't known to dole out praise easily but has been dishing out some kind words after being impressed by some of his new teammates.

Norman, who signed a five-year, $75-million contract with the Redskins in April after being released by the Carolina Panthers, lauded Washington's wide receivers for their maneuverability Tuesday.

"They're quick, and they're shifty guys - sh-shh-shh," Norman said to The MMQB's Robert Klemko. "God almighty, they're shifty. We had some shifty guys in Carolina, but you come here and it’s something different. I've got to come out extra prepared for camp."

Norman's new teammates have reminded him of the New Orleans Saints' high-octane offenses of years past, and he believes the wide receivers could make waves across the league.

"The only thing I’ve seen in this short time out of them is dink and dink," Norman said. "I'm sure they’re going to open it up. I could see them doing a lot of what New Orleans does, quick stuff and taking shots off of play-action. It could be special, but it’s so premature. We’ll just have to see."

Drawing praise from one of the NFL's marquee cornerbacks, the group that consists of DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon, Jamison Crowder, and 2016 first-round pick Josh Doctson will be counted upon to lead the Redskins to the playoffs once again.
