Kenneth Howard Norton Jr. (born September 29, 1966) is an American football coach and former player who is the linebackers coach for the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL).

1984

He went on to play at UCLA from 1984 to 1987, where he was converted to linebacker, the position he would play for the remainder of his football career.

1985

Norton was a member of the 1985 conference championship team, and helped the Bruins to four consecutive bowl game wins.

1986

He led the team with 106 tackles in 1986 and 125 in 1987.

He ranks sixth in school history with 339 career tackles.

1987

He was named the team's defensive MVP in 1987, earned first-team All-American honors, and was a finalist for the Butkus Award.

1988

Norton played college football at UCLA and was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the 1988 NFL Draft.

Norton was drafted in the second round of the 1988 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys.

He spent most of his rookie year on the injured reserve list with a broken thumb.

Norton played in Dallas between 1988 and 1993, assisting the Cowboys to victory in Super Bowl XXVII and Super Bowl XXVIII.

Norton scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XXVII, helping to seal a Cowboys victory.

1989

In 1989, Norton and Jesse Solomon shared the weakside linebacker position.

He played the first and third quarters, Solomon the second and fourth.

1990

In 1990, he became a full-time starter when Solomon held out and was eventually traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

A knee injury sidelined him for the last two games of the season.

1991

In 1991, he bounced back from knee surgery and was used at strongside linebacker and middle linebacker during that season, eventually settling in at the middle linebacker spot.

1992

In 1992, he blossomed as a player and became the leader of the defense, leading the team in tackles with 120 and helping the Cowboys win their first Super Bowl in the 1990s.

That year the Cowboys had the number one defense in the league, but no player was voted to the Pro Bowl.

He also started doing his trademarked punching of the goal posts or the air, after making good plays.

A tribute to his father, the one time boxing heavyweight champion of the world, Ken Norton.

1993

In 1993, he had to play through a torn biceps injury, but still managed to lead the team in tackles with 159, helping the Cowboys win their second straight Super Bowl.

He was also selected to his first Pro Bowl.

1994

In 1994 when a salary cap was instituted in the NFL, the Cowboys organization felt they could find linebackers through the draft, without the need of paying a premium and adversely impacting the salary cap, so they allowed talented and productive players like Ken Norton Jr., Darrin Smith, Dixon Edwards, and Robert Jones to leave via free agency, instead of signing them into long-term contracts.

During the first year of free agency, he joined the San Francisco 49ers from 1994 to 2000.

He became the first player to win three consecutive Super Bowls when the 49ers won Super Bowl XXIX, a feat that remains unmatched as of.

In the first game of the 1994 season, Norton, along with Bryant Young, tackled McCallum during a rushing play.

While he was being pulled to the ground, McCallum's knee collapsed backwards into an unnatural position, almost at a 90 degree angle.

After the play, Norton remained under McCallum while medical staff attended to McCallum.

1995

Norton was selected to his second Pro Bowl in 1995.

Norton was also named to the NFL All-Pro Team following the 1995 season.

Norton is also notable for his part in ending the career of Napoleon McCallum.

Norton finished his 13 NFL seasons with 12 sacks and 5 interceptions, which he returned for 127 yards and 2 touchdowns (both in the same game against the St. Louis Rams in 1995).

He also recovered 13 fumbles and returned them for 36 yards.

Along with ex-teammate Deion Sanders, Norton won consecutive Super Bowls on different teams.

Years later, LeGarrette Blount and Chris Long would become the third and fourth players to do so.

1998

Norton was inducted in the UCLA Hall of Fame in 1998.

2004
