5. Richard Sherman

If you don’t think Richard Sherman is the best corner in the league, he’d be more than happy to prove you wrong.

Sherman was unrightfully passed on in the 2011 draft. He was eventually selected in the fifth round by the Seattle Seahawks. Since stepping on the scene in 2012, Sherman has become a superstar, thanks largely in part to his swagger. While he is unquestionably a top-tier cornerback, he might just be a better trash talker.

If you’re wondering why Sherman is on this list, just listen to his sound bytes or post-game interviews. This guy has never met a mic he didn’t like, and he’s also never met a receiver he wouldn’t talk trash to. The best thing about Sherman is that he backs up every thing he says. He called out Michael Crabtree and then went and shut down the 49ers wide receiver.

Although he draws the ire of most people, it’s hard to argue that Sherman has swagger.
