Sounds good, just don't think he has the size for the NFL. I hope I'm wrong on this one.

[Greenhead22]

6' 210 isn't a bad size, his legs just aren't as big as they should be. There are several rb's in the league that are a good bit shorter with lesser weight that hold their own.

[dawg-n-duck]

Sounds like he is doing a hell of a job and giving it everything he can. Hope it works out for him, because he is a good guy in my opinion.

[bigwater]

i wish norwood the best.. he's a good young man who played on some really chitty teams.. he's as tuff a nails by the way..

hope he succeeds and does well on the next level..

he's a hunter as well.. he aint never really had the opportunity to duck hunt but he would like to.. i think i will take him next year..

[mshunter77]

norwood is excellent athlete that played on crappy teams i really feel sorry for him, i think he has some potential in the nfl

[GordonGekko]

only thing i've seen that is odd about norwood is he has really long legs for a RB...little higher center of gravity, and tends to look a bit more upright...kinda like Robert Smith if ya'll remember him.... He was a good NFL back and I think Norwood has a good potential in the NFL particularly if he gets behind a Great O-Line (like Dallas had in the 90's).... I wish him the best....

[Po Monkey Lounger]

I've already opined before that Norwood would be one of the best backs in this year's draft. And these early combine numbers just reenforce what this young man did on the football field. I think he is talented enough to play in the NFL and become a star. Imagine what he could do behind an OL that could block.

He was pretty much the entirety of MSU's offense the 4 years he played.

[ducksak]

Yeah Po Monkey he was our whole offense so what are we gona do this year without him. Throw the ball? ha I doubt it. I hope Jarious does good at the next level he deserves it. Sounds like he showed those other boys up.

[mottlet]

Wish him the best. Always nice to see a Mississippi boy done good.

[Woodduckdawg]

Just think what he would have done if he had a good line, good quarterback, good defense, good linebackers, etc. etc etc. at MSU the last few years.
