How Andrew Norwell Is Helping To Push Matt Kalil

“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?

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.

No doubt at all! Probably my favorite player.

      Rozeboom and Chanel: Our ILB free agent wish list?

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm not too familiar with Chenal so this might be a lazy question..... Would a Chenal signing be any similar to us giving Turk a big contract? An under appreciated fringe starter in KC that teammates and front offices love and envision them taking off in a new city.

      Zakee Wheatley - SAF - Penn St.

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I LOOOOVED Nick Emmanwori in last year's draft and seeing him thrive and become an instant leader of Seattle's defense this year makes me want a similar rookie beside Moehrig.  In scanning this year's draft, I came across Zakee Wheatley from PSU. Not exactly the same build, but Senior Bowl measurements have him at a hair under 6'3" & 200lbs and runs a 4.4. His acceleration, ability to span the field and be a true center field coverage safety would allow Moehrig to float more near the LOS and play to his strengths with a worthy compliment. Wheatley is a modern day lengthy SAF and he excels in zone coverage, isn't afraid to get dirty in the run game and has a nose for the ball.  We play such a soft cover-3 scheme that having someone with speed to roam would be great. I'd especially like to see us roll Ransom out there with these two as well with Horn/Jackson to secure that backend for us. Looking like a R2 pick as of now with some saying early third. If he truly is an athletic specimen that his numbers show, I assume he will only climb higher after the combine.  https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25250463-nfl-draft-2026-scouting-report-penn-state-s-zakee-wheatley Will defnitely look to see how he does at the Sr. Bowl this weekend and in Indy next month.

      Daniel Jeremiah 2026 NFL mock draft 1.0

      Yeah, I can see that too. Sticky, reliable hands that does not drop a lot of balls and runs the whole route tree.
