Josh Norman isn't here to make friends.

Seemingly locked in a blood feud with every talented wideout in the NFL, the Carolina Panthers cornerback threw some shade at his latest nemesis, Mike Evans, following the team's 38-10 drubbing of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon.

Josh Norman on matchup with Mike Evans: "Peasant throwing rocks at a giant."

When asked what had transpired between he and Evans, Norman deadpanned "(that it was) a peasant throwing rocks at a giant."

It's interesting that Norman would refer to himself as the giant considering he's dwarfed by the 6-foot-5 Evans.

Evans - who caught four passes for 99 yards before being ejected in the fourth quarter for disrespecting the referees - nearly came to blows with Norman at halftime, as the two men needed to be separated by teammates and officials before an all-out brouhaha broke out.
