Norton, who is 22 years old, is a 6-foot-3, 309-pound defensive tackle. He was a seventh-round pick of the Carolina Panthers in 2018, out of the University of Miami. Norton was cut before the season started, but signed to the Panthers practice squad. The Dolphins signed the former UM player off Carolina’s practice squad in December.
