Seattle Seahawks cornerback and anchor of the famed 'Legion of Boom' secondary, whose physicality, ball-hawking ability and vocal leadership made him one of the NFL's elite defenders.
Richard Sherman is one of the most dominant cornerbacks of his era, a Stanford graduate who turned a fifth-round pick into a Hall of Fame career with the Seattle Seahawks. Known for his press coverage technique, exceptional length, and famous trash-talking, Sherman was the centrepiece of the 'Legion of Boom' secondary that led Seattle to back-to-back Super Bowls. His interception to seal Super Bowl XLVIII was one of the most impactful defensive plays in NFL history.
