Norman attributed his connection to Buffalo to a sense of hospitality not unlike what he experienced in his native South Carolina. He rattled off the reasons he feels compelled to leave his mark in Western New York: the open-arms attitude and giving nature within his neighborhood, the life and excitement he felt when walking into the office of his massage therapist (a small business, he points out), the "perfect" weather in summer and spring.
"Here, I felt like I was at home," Norman said. "I really did."
The philanthropic spirit comes as no to surprise to Norman's teammates. If the Bills were to cater a team dinner, Micah Hyde said, "J-No" would be the one to insist he sets it up.
"That's always J-No," Hyde said. "He wants to be the guy to run everything. But obviously in this type of situation, just coming to the community, coming to Buffalo, that's a good trait to have. He wants to be involved. He wants to be a part of this community, not just live in it however long he's here and then leave and never think about Buffalo again. He wants to be a part of it. That's J-No and that's why we love him."
The actions speak louder considering the less-than-ideal circumstances of Norman's season. Hamstring injuries forced him to miss most of training camp and the first three weeks of the regular season, then sidelines him again from Weeks 7 to 9. He was poised to return against Arizona in Week 10 until a positive COVID-19 test prevented him from traveling.
It has all added up to what Norman admits has been one of the strangest years of his career, and yet he remains grateful. Upon receiving his positive test, he issued a minute-long video thanking fans for their support and directing thoughts to those who have it worse. The following day, he tweeted enthusiastically while the Bills played the Cardinals, including words of support as rookie cornerback Dane Jackson excelled in Norman's place.
