NFL legend Richard Sherman has revealed a telling encounter with DeVonta Smith made him realise his retirement was imminent.
The former Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers cornerback never officially retired but last played back in 2021, turning out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he played just five games, including three starts. It was, of course, during his time with the Seahawks that he established himself as one of the most dominant defensive players of recent years, forming part of the feared " Legion of Boom".
His contributions were beyond recourse in 2013, leading the NFL in interceptions as the team wrote its name into history by triumphing over the Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl. His time in Washington State would eventually come to an end in 2018 when he was surprisingly moved on.
