If someone only saw stats and never saw Sherman play, or more importantly, never heard him talk, they would conclude he is a HOF Corner.
The thing that makes Sherman so remarkable is that nobody at that position has been able to master it with the ability to process and translate information into physical movement like he does. Most guys are great at that position because they see what is happening and react to it. Sherman has an unreal ability to anticipate what is going to happen before it does. So he doesn't need the more elite quickness and pure speed other Corners must have to play the game at his level. This also likely means a longer career at an elite level as well.
