Demaryius Thomas Takes Shot At Josh Norman With Tweet

Denver Broncos wide receiver DeMaryius Thomas is one of several people Washington Redskins defensive back Josh Norman criticized in a recent ESPN The Magazine profile.

The article also described the disintegration of Norman’s relationship with the Panthers, the Redskins team name controversy, his place in the cornerback pecking order, and his never-ending feud with Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr. 

Thomas was held to just one catch for eight yards on six targets in Super Bowl 50, with Norman in primary coverage on the Broncos star. Although the Broncos won the game and the Panthers play a defense that rarely left Norman alone against Thomas, Norman still decided to take a shot at Thomas, all while bragging about his coverage of the receiver during the Super Bowl.

“I don’t know what he was out there for,” Norman said. “He was supposed to be an all-world guy, and I shut him down.”

Thomas responded with a single tweet, which included a photo of the Super Bowl ring, and the caption “Where yours at young fella?”

Norman is actually 10 days older than Thomas (both are 28), though the latter got his point across and delivered the perfect burn.

Several gifs and memes of Norman like this one arose after the Broncos’ Super Bowl win:

One can only guess Norman will stay quiet after that sharp rebuttal.
