CSN Bay Area

The Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos are in the Bay Area for Super Bowl 50.

And while the players on both teams are focused on the task at hand, not everyone is signed with their respective club long-term.

Come March, Panthers cornerback Josh Norman will become a free agent, and one of the top overall players available. 

And he loves the Bay Area.

"I love it. I woke up, open the curtains and see the hills, valleys and plains," Norman told the San Francisco Chronicle. "So gorgeous, like from a movie script."

Norman, 28, had a breakout year in 2015, notching four interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns, and 18 pass breakups.

Outside of pressing the opposing team's top receiver, he also showed a great deal of versatility in Carolina's defense.

Norman allowed a 54.0 passer rating when targeted all season, which was the lowest of all NFL cornerbacks, according to Pro Football Focus.

Carolina finished the regular season with the No. 6 overall defense, and their 19.2 points allowed per game also ranked sixth in the league.
