How Andrew Norwell Is Helping To Push Matt Kalil

[Hogmolliesmaht]

“These defensive guys we’re playing against, as soon as they see you lack confidence, it’s like sharks in the water,” Kalil said. “They’re looking for that. For me, having Norwell in there – a real stout guard – it’s helped my confidence a lot. I know he’s always going to be there for me.”

Norwell has become an intimidating figure since coming to Carolina as an undrafted free agent in 2014. He’s one of the biggest men on the roster at 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds, but that’s not unusually large in today’s NFL. It’s the attitude he plays with; the relentless nastiness. That’s what’s made Norwell so revered in the locker room, and that’s what’s pushing the tranquil Kalil to raise his level.

Is there any doubt that Norwell deserves a new deal?

"middle of a Kalil sandwich".......   ooof!

In my never to be humble opinion, I think he is the biggest priority to get a new deal. After QB, I view the Oline as the most important. I sincerely hope we get him a deal (Rosenhaus as an agent doesn't help). After we win the SB, I'm not sure how many of these guys we can keep.

God, I love Norwell.  Such a beast

Norwell is the unsung hero of our line. Trai got paid but Norwell deserves his just as much.

No doubt at all! Probably my favorite player.

I can just imagine how big this SOB looks in person.

That is a huge statement.
