Redskins cornerback Josh Norman’s rivalry with Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. garners most of the headlines, and for good reason, but the growing feud between Norman and Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson has potential.
You may recall that Peterson tweeted “Know your worth” after the Panthers rescinded the non-exclusive franchise tag on Norman in April, making him a free agent. Peterson deleted the tweet and, when asked why, replied, “Not my style. So decided to delete. Positive Vibes only. #DontPressSend.”
Norman seemed to address Peterson’s comment in his introductory press conference after signing a five-year, $75 million deal with the Redskins. “I guess you’ve got to know yourself, know your worth,” Norman said. “So I guess I know my worth. I know myself.”
The feud was dormant until Saturday, when Peterson reacted to a video of Pierre Garcon running past Norman during one-on-one drills at Redskins training camp by suggesting that Norman being rated the No. 1 cornerback in the latest version of EA Sports’ “Madden” video game series was a joke. Peterson is the fourth-highest-rated corner in the game.
