I agree that Norton is the best 51, though I’m a bit surprised you didn’t at least mention Manders who was a good, solid center for the team in the 60’s & 70’s.

I really wish Norton would have stayed on the Cowboys he was a great player. Though I would say he falls just outside the top 3 LBs for the team, in part because he just didn’t play long enough for the team, with Howley & Jordan easily being 1 & 2 then Breunig rounding out the top 3.
It’s a shame that he & many other players on the defense in the 90’s never got the credit & recognition they deserved.

Btw Norton reportedly doesn’t like being referred to as a Jr. because he has a strained relationship with his father.
