Wow. This guy is ginormous!

 

[BooBirdSaint]

LT, UDFA, Multiple teams over 3 seasons, XFL, 6'8" 310lbs.

Anyone with info on this guy? Is he average? Can he hold up for 4 games while a Tackle is out? Camp body?

 

[scott88]

I can't imagine this is more than the vet minimum

 

[HburgSaints]

Man, that guy missed his calling as a Meteorologist with that name. Or a superhero

 

[nolaspe]

Well, Bolts fan on twitter are saying that he's turrible, but take it with a grain of salt b/c you know, twitter...

 

[RaisingTheBar]

He probably won’t even make the roster.

 

[scott88]

I doubt he makes it out of training camp, he's that bad

Here’s a Chargers fan piece about Norton. Cliffs Notes: he came into his own in the XFL, played well as a sub for the Chargers in 2020, then backslid in 2021-22.

Chargers have finally given up on offensive tackle Storm Norton

After so much evidence against him, it looks like the LA Chargers are finally giving up on Storm Norton.

Have to hope Doug Marrone can wring something out of Norton, or else he won’t make the Week 1 roster.

Well if football doesn’t work out he already has a good WWE or American Gladiator name.

Yikes, after doing some research, my guy is pretty bad. He played alot in 2021 where he gave up a whopping 9 sacks in 15gms. Yikes! James Hurst gave up 5 sacks last year as a comparison. This signing smells of desperation, if Penning doesn't pan out I hope the Saints have a Plan B.
