He's not Ken Norton Jr's (the Dallas LBer/son of the boxer) son.

This is directly from Ken Norton Jr.'s Wiki (which could be wrong):

 

Norton is the son of Ken Norton, former world champion heavyweight boxer and one of the few to ever beat Muhammad Ali. He and his wife, Angela, have three children: Brittney, Sabrina, and Ken III. On April 28, 2018 his son Ken III was drafted by the Carolina Panthers with the 242nd pick of the NFL Draft as a defensive tackle from the Miami Hurricanes.<ref><ref>2018 NFL draftsmen

 I admit that it is rare that a seventh rounder decides to take on the talent evaluators of the NFL and probably not very advisable.  But look at the shoes this kid has to fill. Imagine holidays at the Norton table.  Imagine the stress of seeing your name passed and passed again.

Some of y'all sit there behind your computers in front of your framed Pop  Warner illuminated jersey on the wall and think to be a fan is to put down all that is not Cam or Luke.  I think this was perhaps Marty's best pick,considering the round.  I am pulling for him to be right. 

By the way, I think it was Warren Sapp who did the same thing.  I get that he was a first rounder who slid, but maybe Kendrick can have the same result.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
