Richard Sherman analyzes the top five cornerbacks in the 2022 NFL draft

When you’re evaluating cornerbacks, there’s a lot to take in. Is this cornerback better in man or zone? Does he have match feet, Can he run the receiver’s route for him? Is he sticky in all phases of coverage? Do his eyes match his feet? What are his transition traits? On and on and on.

It’s a hard thing to get right, which is why you should always ask someone who knows more about the position than you do, if you are able.

Fortunately, I was able to do just that. Richard Sherman and I watched his top five cornerbacks in the 2022 draft class together, and Sherm gave a master class in how each of the players — Cincinnati’s Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, LSU’s Derek Stingley Jr, Washington’s Trent McDuffie, Auburn’s Roger McCreary, and Clemson’s Andrew Booth, Jr. — can succeed in the NFL, and the things each of them may have to work on.

You’ll soon be able to experience this specifically great analysis from Sherm on the Richard Sherman Podcast, which you should already be watching and listening to, anyway. Here’s the full video, in which Sherm acts as coach and mentor for these five future NFL cornerback stars.
