Kurtenbach: Richard Sherman’s introductory press conference was insightful, funny, and totally bizarre

SANTA CLARA — Richard Sherman’s first press conference at Levi’s Stadium Tuesday showed off the 49ers’ new cornerback’s big personality, his insight, and his red suit.

Oh my, that red suit.

Speaking to the media for the second time since signing with the 49ers — the first time in front of cameras — Sherman broke down how he negotiated his own deal, his timeframe for returning to the field, and the ways that Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch convinced him to come back to the Bay Area.

It was interesting. It was enlightening. But more than anything else, it was bizarre.
