When Richard Sherman was released from the Seattle Seahawks, there were some light jokes among San Francisco 49ers fans that the team should target the veteran cornerback. Very little of it, from what I observed, was serious given the unknown progress regarding his torn Archilles tendon a year ago.
I certainly made those jokes, but I was also completely on board with the idea well before he was actually linked to the team. Well before Shanahan and Sherman were spotted eating in a restaurant together. And it’s not that I was unique in this or that I made a major feat of prediction, it’s just that I am a very big fan of Sherman and what he does both on and off the field.
