Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman isn't new to making headlines. He's often considered one of the more polarizing figures in the NFL and he's at it again. This time, ESPN made sure the world knew Norman went running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

First thing that needs to be brought up is the jump. The athleticism is ridiculous and Norman reminded everyone very quickly that he's a world class athlete. It also takes a lot of courage to run towards a bull and jump over it.
That being said, this video has obviously stirred up a lot of talk – especially amongst Washington Redskins fans on social media.
Personally, I believe as long as a player isn't doing anything illegal – do what you want in the offseason. He's clearly still staying in shape.
However, it's also understandable that some fans are a little upset over this. Norman is supposed to be the team's top cornerback this season and running with the bulls isn't the safest of activities. In fact, it's something that could've effectively ended his career.
Norman might not be the cornerback he was a few years ago, but he's still one of the better players at his position in the NFL. He still has the ability to lock down a wide receiver and is definitely a valuable asset to the team, despite some fans thinking he should be cut (which is ridiculous by the way).
With that in mind, the video of Josh Norman running with the bulls isn't going to help his perception with those fans. Some were looking for another reason to be upset with him and he handed them this on a silver platter. Me personally, I just think it's impressive.
