Josh Norman: Off Field Character Concerns

In the reports on Josh Norman this week many in the media have made references to off-field character concerns but failed to give any details. I thought I would share what I know about these concerns. These stem from some maturity issues that Josh had while a freshman. He had received several traffic tickets that had gone unpaid. As a result his license was suspended. He was pulled over and arrested for the unpaid tickets. The tickets were going to be paid for by a family member who failed to do so and that family member took responsibility for not doing so. This still does not lift the responsibility for Josh’s actions. Since that time Josh has not had any further problems and has been described by his coaches and teammates as being a high character person. I think Josh is past these problems and on the right track. I will update if any more information becomes available.
