[quote author=Extra Point link=topic=13989.msg147165#msg147165 date=1449715203]It was not that long ago that people on this board were criticizing the ability of Richard Sherman. Good thing the coaches saw what we didn't!

Has anyone here actually played corner back or safety by the way?

Well, wasn't Sherman not exactly a Thorpe Award candidate in his time at Stanford? There's a reason he wasn't a high draft pick, and Carroll is a good DB coach so it's not surprising he was able to develop someone who was fairly raw.

And I think Hulk played DB.

Sherman had a few plays where he looked comically bad his first year at CB after moving from offense. I remember him doing a 360 once or twice after being fooled by a receiver's move. I think memories like that tended to stick with Stanford fans even though he played very well as a senior.
