Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera sees a bit of Josh Norman in rookie cornerback Donte Jackson, but former NFL wide receiver Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson wants to be the judge of that.

After the NFL's Twitter account shared a story Monday of Rivera comparing Jackson's swagger to that of Norman, Johnson, who last played in an NFL game in 2011, challenged the rookie to go one-on-one.

The 40-year-old Johnson also issued a call-to-arms to Miami Dolphins rookie safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, the No. 11 pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, last month.
