People always look at the 10 second sound bites they get from places like ESPN, and rarely look any deeper than that. Sherman has always been about service off the field. In some ways, he's a lot like Bosworth. He has carefully created a persona for his football life, but that persona is not all that he is.

I get why some people don't like him. Personally, I love the guy.

Yeah he plays the heel very well....Or atleast he did. Once he got his contract (before last year) he really toned everything down. What the people that hate him dont understand is he had a plan the entire time and basically orchestrated an image so that he would get noticed and capitalize monetarily off of that.. He was a 5th round draft pick, playing in the media waste land that is Seattle. He knew he had to go rogue a bit to get noticed, he put on a show, called out the best qb in the league you mad Brady, got in twitter beefs with everyones "best corner" revis, went on skip bayless' show and out trolled the troll. etc. etc. etc. All the while putting in serious work and becoming the best (one of) corner backs in the game.

After all that, he got (at the time) the biggest contract for a corner in the league. He got chunky soup commercials, he got the madden cover, etc. etc. etc.

brilliantly marketed himself, and is reaping the rewards.
