Ramonce Taylor Nominee

KSU TE Rashaan Norwood, who was arrested TWICE Sunday morning, has been added to the Ramonce Taylor Watchlist. Norwood, "pounded on the female victim’s apartment door early...and tried to call her on a cell phone. When she ignored him, Norwood broke a sliding glass door with a chair, forced his way into a locked bedroom and pushed her onto the bed. There were no injuries...A police officer attempted to stop Norwood outside the apartment complex, but Norwood took off running...he was chased on foot and apprehended."

If I may add some editorial comments here...a) I have confirmed that Lawrence Phillips is not his position coach; b) Norwood clearly "lacks an ability to separate from defenders"; and c) the Manhattan, Kansas police force must have hired former KSU DB's as police officers.

But wait, there's more..."Police were called back to the apartment later Sunday morning, where they found Norwood hiding under a bed. Moldrup said it was unclear how he gained entry" - let's wait a moment here. If we can convict Michael Vick two months ago, can't we assume Mr. Norwood came through the broken sliding glass door that he broke earlier Sunday morning? I haven't visited Manhattan, KS personally, but I have a sneaky suspicion that the 24/7 glass repair business isn't viable in that hamlet.

Coach Ron Prince did suspend Mr. Norwood. The Cincinnati Bengals have spoken with Roger Goodell, NFL commish, to see if they could draft Norwood in the supplemental draft. In spite of the demonstrated lack of speed and separation ability, ESPN Insider John Clayton believes Norwood would fit into the team's philosophy.
