I count 13 guys in the Pro Football HOF exclusively as cornerbacks. (You can add a few other guys like Rod Woodson and Deion Sanders to get maybe five more.)

Even if he never were to play another down, I'd wager plenty that Richard Sherman will join that group.
Legend works for me.
I think of Deion Sanders and Richard Sherman as two very different kinds of players. Sanders ran back kicks and punts, he caught passes. He scored 21 TDs between his catches, interceptions and K/O and punt runbacks. Sanders' interception rate per game and Sherman's is about the same (Sanders rate is very slightly higher). Sanders, on the other hand, was known for avoiding contact. Sherman averages about 1/2 tackle per game more than Sanders.
BTW, Sherman tweeted last night that he was (apparently random) tested for PEDs and HGH after the game.
