Redskins’ Josh Norman takes out full-page ad in hometown paper to help churches image

Redskins cornerback Josh Norman comes from humble beginnings and now wants to use his success to help churches in his hometown of Greenwood, S.C.

Norman took out a full-page ad in Greenwood’s Index-Journal asking every church in the town to send him a letter stating the “concerns of the church and the needs of the youth.”

Norman grew up in the town of roughly 25,000 before playing collegiately at Coastal Carolina. He signed a five-year contract worth up to $75 million ($50 million guaranteed) with Washington in April 2016 after spending the first four years of his career with the Panthers.
