I thought he was still with some team in the NFL. Does anyone know any particular reason why it did not work out for him. His size maybe? In any case I was a bit surprised of his latest.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

work ethic maybe

Re: Eric Norwood
 

From what I understand from a Panther forum that I read was that Norwood enjoyed being an NFL player but didn't put the work in that was needed.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

I heard he didn't fit the system, but I have no idea if that's true. I sure hope it wasn't work ethic. That's absolutely the worst reason to be run out of the NFL.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

Sometimes money does that.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

Yeah he didn't fit with the Panthers at all and he never seemed to have a good motor in the NFL.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

Too slow when he put on the weight needed to get some push. At least, thats what i saw in his limited chances.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

You think the money went to his head. Could be, but he wasn't good enough to be lazy. Now he doesn't have a job or any money.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

That's too bad...

Wish him good luck in the future!

Re: Eric Norwood
 

Have no idea about size, but I agree he did not fit that system and I really think his size was an issue. We all know college and NFL are vastly different.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

If he's got a degree, he should be using it instead Arena Football .............geez !

Re: Eric Norwood
 

Wow. You know something is terribly wrong if a player can't even make it in the UFL.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

Is UFL still around? I've heard the league had some money trouble and they were done last year.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

Thought he was still in the NFL as well.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

I always liked Eric and wish him the best.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

Yet another awful draft pick by the Panthers.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

This is what I heard too

Re: Eric Norwood
 

He has a tryout at the Saints mini-camp this weekend. Could be a good fit for Saints new 3-4 as an OLB rushing the QB. Hopefully he or Shaq or both can catch on with the Saints or at least get invited back to training camp.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

Coolest move I ever saw from a college player was when he moved interviewing Erin Andrews aside to raise a "health' when the Alma Mater played.

Re: Eric Norwood
 

This is why it is a good idea to get a degree. The NFL doesn't always pan out.
