Richard Sherman has never been nervous to make bold declarations concerning himself, opponents, or even up-and-coming Seattle Seahawks teammates. One of the most cerebral figures in the NFL, Sherm crafts his sentences carefully. A statement he made just days ago still stands out.
After an open training camp practice last week, Sherman put his money on Tharold Simon living up to his sky-high potential:
“[Simon is] an incredible athlete. He’s going to be a great ballplayer. I continue to stand by what I’ve always said. He’s going to be better than me by the time it’s all said and done.
