Richard Sherman offers practice instruction
Media: SFChronicle
Richard Sherman has a temp job: The All-Pro cornerback is an all-in coach.
On Tuesday, during the 49ers’ first offseason practice open to the media, Sherman, 30, spent his time instructing, cajoling and exhorting, often in classic coach posture: Hunched over on the sideline with his hands on his knees.
At one point, Sherman raced onto the field to celebrate after safety Jaquiski Tartt had blanket coverage on tight end Garrett Celek: “Good job, Tartt!” Sherman yelled after the pass was incomplete.
Moments later, Sherman, reacting as if it was the playoffs instead of a May practice, put his hands atop his 49ers baseball cap in frustration after Jimmy Garoppolo lofted a deep pass to Marquise Goodwin between safety Adrian Colbert and cornerback Jimmie Ward.
