style

Norton has a very great arm length and can take a great first step. This allows him to get a wide angle, which is useful for the pass block. Due to his considerable height of over two meters, he can also set deep blocks against players from the second line of defense. However, he is not that good at running blocks, tends to play with a high center of gravity and has comparatively little strength in his legs. He is relatively slow to move backwards, but quick to move sideways. Norton played two-point stance (no hand on the floor) in Toledo.
