Josh Norman snubs Odell Beckham Jr in top five wide receiver list
Monday 28 March 2016 14:43, UK
Josh Norman appears to have taken a fresh swipe at Odell Beckham Jr after leaving the New York Giants star out of his list of top five wide receivers.
Beckham Jr received a one-game ban after repeated on-field confrontations with Carolina cornerback Norman in last season's 38-35 home loss to the Panthers.
Referring to their physical encounter, Norman said afterwards: "I hope I pulled back the mask on who this guy really is."
A string of gravity-defying catches have raised the profile of Beckham Jr, but the highly-rated 23-year-old was a glaring omission from Norman's list of top-five wide receivers.
Norman named Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons, Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Dallas Cowboys' Dez Bryant, A.J Green from the Cincinnati Bengals, and current team-mate Kelvin Benjamin.
I don't know if he would put me on his - I really don't care - but this is my top five.
When asked about Beckham Jr's absence, he told NFL Total Access: "This is my top five, alright? I don't know if he would put me on his - I really don't care - but this is my top five.
"So this is what I see. If he wants to get up there, do something to show me. Shoot, man, I played it, I saw it. I don't know, I just didn't think that. But he's working there. I think he's definitely a top 10. He's working in the top-five bracket. Maybe if I play him again, he'll show me different."
The feuding pair have since aired their grievances again on social media as Beckham Jr tweeted: "That boy should thank me for all I've done for you !!! Your welcome tho ... Lol."
Norman quickly fired back: "@Obj_3 As your boy @Drake would say 'trigger finger turn to Twitter finger's' huh? I'm not Guna sub Tweet you Ima @ You. So wassup?"
