Rodney Harrison Responds To Panthers' Josh Norman's Twitter Insult

PITTSBURGH (93-7 The Fan) – Josh Norman has had an outstanding breakout season at cornerback for the undefeated Carolina Panthers, but he feels like one analyst is selling him short.

NBC Sports personality and former NFL safety Rodney Harrison seemed to get under Norman's skin after questioning Norman's ability to cover star Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones this week.

Norman responded by taking this shot at Harrison on Twitter:

Harrison was not aware of the Tweet until it was mentioned to him during an interview on The Fan Morning Show on 93-7 The Fan on Friday.

When he learned of them, he offered this response:
"Hey, well, that's fine. Listen, he's trying to get to where I'm at, okay, where I've been. I played in four Super Bowls. I won two. I've been in the Pro Bowl. I've been All-Pro. I've done all that stuff. He's a really good young player, and I enjoy watching him.
