Coffee & Clips: Sherman Commends Trufant

Two of Team Irvin’s cornerbacks at the 2016 Pro Bowl had a special bond that many might not know about.

Richard Sherman has known the Trufant family since 2011, the year he was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks. Marcus Trufant was an established cornerback in the NFL and decided to take Sherman under his wing.

The youngest of the Trufant boys, Desmond, was introduced to Sherman, and the two have been friends ever since.

This year’s Pro Bowl was a first for both Trufant and Sherman; seemingly fitting they would share the opportunity together on the same team.
