I owe Richard Sherman an apology. I ranked him as the No. 16 cornerback in my MMQB 400 earlier this summer. I was concerned about Sherman’s susceptibility to in-breaking routes. But after reading all 18 games of my Seahawks film notes to write this piece, I see now that I fixated too much on this. Sherman, with his long and angular body, has naturally always struggled against in-breakers. Last season, which wasn’t his best, those struggles were a little more pronounced. But they didn’t define him. He’s still an excellent boundary corner, especially against vertical routes, and what always stands out on film but goes unnoticed elsewhere is his fervidity in run support. Sherman is still a top 10 corner—I got that one wrong. SI
