Who is Richard Sherman?

Richard Sherman

Richard Sherman is a retired NFL star who spent a good chunk of his career playing for the Seattle Seahawks, helping them to a Super Bowl win. He was selected in the fifth round by the team in 2011 and was the 25th cornerback in the draft.

In 2013, he made a historic play by deflecting a pass from quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The play was dubbed the "Immaculate Deflection" and was voted the most significant play in franchise history by fans. However, he was fined $7,875 by the league after his choking taunt addressed to Kaepernick.

His final year with the Seahawks was 2017, and he only played nine games that year.

Sherman was signed by the San Francisco 49ers a day after being released by the Seahawks. He played three seasons with the 49ers and wasn't able to complete his four-year deal with the team due to injury. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked him up by giving him a one-year, $2.25 million deal.

Following the 2021 season, he retired from professional football and has been a staple in sports media.
