In the wake of cornerback Jaycee Horn’s injury, the Panthers turned to an Atlanta coffee shop for reinforcement.
Lo and behold, Carolina found veteran cornerback Josh Norman working at his mother’s business, Omni Coffee & Eggs, and re-signed the 35-year-old on Monday. There aren’t many baristas who can transition from latte art to stuffing the NFL’s best receivers, but the former Pro Bowler is better equipped than most.
“It truly was about charity and giving back to these kids and helping [Carolina interim coach Steve Wilks] out as much as we could,” Norman said on his return, via ESPN’s David Newton. “What I love about Wilks is he has that same mindset to want to give back. It’s just truly an honor for us to be here.”
