Seattle Seahawks outspoken cornerback, Richard Sherman, calmly spoke to ESPN after the Seahawk’s Super Bowl XLVIII devastating 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos on February 2, 2014, where the Seattle Seahawks defense completely dominated Denver’s offense throughout the entire game.

Sherman was selected by the Seahawks in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Sherman, who is no stranger to controversies, taunted Michael Crabtree after defeating the 49ers in the 2013 NFC playoffs and would later be fined $7,875 by the NFL. Sherman wrote in his Sports Illustrated column on Jan 28th, “No one has ever made himself great by showing how small someone else is. If I could pass a lesson on to the kids it would be this: Don’t attack anybody. I shouldn’t have attacked Michael Crabtree the way I did. You don’t have to put anybody else down to make yourself bigger.” Sherman also wrote, “Pete Carroll is a rock. But I already knew that. After the NFC title game, he sat me down and we talked about the things I could’ve handled better, and he opened my eyes.”
