Notes: Richard Sherman on Calvin Johnson: ‘best player I’ve ever played against’

In a league full of superstars, former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman says Detroit Lions legend Calvin Johnson was his toughest opponent.

Sherman talked about some of his favorite matchups on The Richard Sherman Podcast, including the Lions Hall of Famer.

“Arguably the best player I’ve ever played against — ever lined up against,” the former Seahawk said of Megatron.

When Johnson came across the quote on social media, he responded by quote-tweeting just one word: “Respect.”

Then Sherman respected his respect.

Sherman went on to explain just why Johnson was such a tough guy to defend.
