Richard Sherman: New NFL Rules Are Allowing Average QBs to Put Up HOF Numbers

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman said on Thursday the new NFL rules designed to protect quarterbacks are allowing average ones to produce what were previously Hall of Fame numbers.

Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com provided comments from the outspoken Niners defender, who argued the early-season offensive outburst around the NFL in 2018 is "what the league wanted."

"You can't touch him. You can't tackle him. You can't hit him high, can't hit him low. You can't knock him down to the ground hard ... all that. You can't hit a receiver too high, you can't hit him low, you can't push him.
