Richard Sherman is the quintessential boundary cornerback for a Cover-3 match zone defense, utilizing his length and instincts to disrupt passing lanes.
Year 1 starting outside cornerback, with a ceiling to be a perennial Pro Bowl lockdown corner in a zone-heavy system.
Man-to-man heavy schemes that ask cornerbacks to consistently mirror smaller, quicker receivers in open space.
Sherman projects as a highly effective zone cornerback with excellent ball skills and an advanced understanding of route concepts within a Cover-3 system.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
