Coincidentally, BGN's profile on Norwood is schedule to be released on Thursday. Here's a sneak peek of his strengths via Mike Kaye:

Norwood has solid speed and can get YAC with ease. He has big, soft hands and snatches the ball out of the air. He has the ability to make "wow" plays and will sell out for the ball. He shows great concentration and knows how to box out defenders to grab contested passes. He has terrific change of direction and can avoid tackles by dipping and dodging defenders. He is a dependable receiver that is a solid route runner.
