Selected Second-Team All-SEC by coaches as well as AP as a senior when he averaged 103.3 ypg on the ground...Became Mississippi State's career rushing leader with 3,222 yards after producing 1,136 yards in 2005...Became just the second running back in school history to post at least 1,000 yards on the ground in back-to-back campaigns...Holds the MSU record for most games with at least 100 yards rushing with 13 and was also presented with the Conerly Award this year as the top college football player in the state of Mississippi...Was a member of the Senior Bowl's South team after missing much of the spring with an injury...Started all 11 games as a junior, gaining 1,050 yards for an average of almost five and a half yards per attempt, leading to seven touchdowns...Norwood averaged better than five yards per carry as a sophomore as well, but carried just 121 times and scored twice after gaining 394 yards on 66 carries as a freshman...Should be productive at the pro level, but not as an every-down back because he still needs to work on the finer points of carrying the ball, as he follows blocks and learns how to take hits.
