4 Seattle Seahawks who should be next to join Ring of Honor

Up next for Seahawks Ring of Honor No. 1: Richard Sherman

While Earl Thomas was last seen wearing a Seahawks uniform being carted off the field in Week 4 of the 2018 season and flipping off the Seattle sideline, Sherman's leaving was filled with more of simple trash talk after Sherman signed with the San Francisco 49ers. But that was just Sherman being Sherman and except for one off-field incident in 2020, Sherman hasn't ever been seen as a "bad guy."

Moreover, Sherman has been more involved in Seahawks' training camp recently. Last year he appeared to help cornerback Tariq Woolen get acclimated to the NFL. And Sherman wasn't get paid to do it. He helped Woolen (like Sherman, a fifth-round draft pick) because he simply wanted to. That speaks volumes about the person Sherman is, rather than just the player.

But Sherman the player was special. He played seven of his 11 NFL seasons with Seattle and finished his time in Seattle with 32 interceptions, 99 passes defended, and was a three-time first-team All-Pro. Sherman is tied for fourth on the Seahawks' all-time interception list and is second among cornerbacks.

Sherman was also an excellent tackler and one of the rarest of his breed. That is a cornerback who could cover extremely well but also be an imposing presence with his physicality and his ability to hit hard while tackling. Sherman may be the best CB in Seattle history.
