It’s the Pro Bowl, so things are getting weird. Offensive players are playing defense and defensive players are playing offense. That includes Richard Sherman. Sherman began his college career at Stanford as a wide receiver. He eventually moved to corner and has played on the defensive side of the ball during his NFL career.
Richard Sherman immediately regrets his short stint on offense in the Pro Bowl
He finally got his chance to play wide receiver at the NFL level and on his first snap took the ball on a reverse. Unfortunately for Sherman, the play didn’t amount to much initially. Not willing to settle for a short gain on his only touch, Sherman broke back across the field. He avoided a defender, then another and was close to breaking into the clear.
That is until his Seattle teammate Bobby Wagner got involved. Sherman and Wagner are two of the leaders of Seattle’s defense but on this play they were opponents and Wagner was not having it.
Not only did Wagner completely shut that down, he made sure Sherman knew about it. There was a little extra at the end of that play. I’m sure that will never come up in the Seattle locker room. Sherman already has his defense ready for Wagner’s trash talk.
So.... Cut back on dead legs in ProBowl.... Not a good idea! Got it. #ProBowl2016
