ASHBURN, Va. -- Josh Normans beef with Cardinals corner Patrick Peterson began in the summer on social media. On Sunday, their teams will meet on the field when the?Redskins?play at Arizona.Peterson and Norman clashed indirectly after the Cardinals corner mocked his Redskins counterpart?over a video from training camp that showed wideout Pierre Garcon running past Norman, the NFLs highest-paid corner.It was one of many mini battles for Norman this season, including one from Thanksgiving Day against Dallas receiver Dez Bryant. Norman has been the subject of much discussion among fellow players.Trolls and clowns. Trolls and clowns. When youre at the top, everyones gunning for you. Thats what happens, Norman said of the encounters.In late July, Peterson retweeted video of Garcon winning on a route against Norman and said, but hes the highest rating lol madden is a joke. Norman was the No. 1-rated corner in Madden NFL 17; Peterson was fourth.That prompted Norman to return volley at Peterson a few days later: That guy? Come on, man. Be No. 4 and be happy. Come on, dont talk about me, Im not talking about you.I cant get into it, man, Norman said Monday. Everybody wants to go against me for some reason. That was then; this is now.On Thursday, Norman and Bryant feuded during the game and afterward, both on the field and in the media. All Norman had to say Monday was, It was a game; we lost, they won. Thats it.But Norman has had tiffs with the New York Giants Odell Beckham Jr., as well, although their first encounter this season didnt result in fireworks. Norman has been picked apart for failing to cover the oppositions best receiver in the season opener against the?Steelers, for not facing Bryant when he played in the slot, and for playing mostly zone rather than man coverage.Its been like that since he signed a $15 million-per-year deal with Washington in April.I really dont care, man, Norman said. I dont. Im where Im at because of what Ive done, and nobody can take it away from me no matter how hard they try. So it really doesnt matter to me. You have to go out and do your job and be that attack guy and see what comes up. You cant control nobody and what they do. Trent Williams Redskins Jersey .
