Let me preface this by apologizing to adding another Richard Sherman thread, I just wanted to say this.
Regardless of what you think about Richard Sherman you've got to have a ton of respect for the guy. Sure, I don't like that he went off about Crabtree after the game, sure I wish he would just let his play speak for itself and I do wish he would be more humble about his ability but...
Here you have a guy who has been overlooked his ENTIRE life. Coming out of high school, he was recruited as a WR, the 61st ranked WR in the country by Scout. After leading Stanford in receiving as a freshman, he eventually converted to CB. He was not drafted until the 5th round in the NFL. Despite having a phenomenal rookie season nobody talked about him. Back on CBS I made a thread on the NFL board making a case for Sherman being a top 5 CB in the NFL and the general reaction was "Richard who?"
Despite being the NFL's best CB in 2012 he was still not voted to the Pro-Bowl despite being named All-Pro. It is not until now that he has finally received the recognition he has long deserved.
The guy also gives one hell of an interview. I don't care about player interviews because all you see is the typical boring, canned, pre-rehearsed, Seahawk PR approved statements come out of the players, Sherman just acts like himself and says whatever he wants. I'd rather see a player be more candid in interviews than spew the same boring garbage that you see all the time.
Regardless of what you think about him you've got to admit the guy is pretty funny too, if I could hang out with any NFL player for a day it would probably be Sherman, the guy is hilarious.
I'm not sure why so many people are so upset over him. The guy has overcome a ton of adversity to become the best in the world at what he does, something none of us can ever be able to say.
