Richard Sherman<\/a> was once considered the best cornerback in the NFL during his time with the Seattle Seahawks and their famed “Legion of Boom.” But Sherman\u2019s career eventually came to an end following the 2021 campaign, and he remembered the exact play that told him it was time to hang up his cleats.<\/p>\n

Sherman was a five-time Pro Bowler, three-time All Pro and a Super Bowl champion when he arrived in Tampa Bay to play with the Buccaneers on a one-year deal for the 2021 season. He had completed his second year with the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> the season prior, after seven outstanding seasons in Seattle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But a meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles would change the then-33-year-old\u2019s mind about continuing his NFL career, and it was a specific route that rookie DeVonta Smith ran against him at Lincoln Financial Field.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ll never forget I was in Tampa and I had just come back from an injury. A calf injury or something,” he said on his “The Richard Sherman Podcast. “\u2026It was my third game and we had y\u2019all on a Thursday night and DeVonta must\u2019ve ran the comeback. And I had him under control. I was like, bang, quick jam. Easy, got him under control.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He must\u2019ve stopped and I tried to stop and my whole groin said, \u2018Snap, snap, snap, snap. Woah, woah.\u2019 Then, you\u2019re trying to guard him, you\u2019re like chasing him around like, \u2018Please don\u2019t throw him the ball.\u2019 Our coach is looking at me on the sideline like, \u2018Hey, you want to come out?\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Yeah, but they\u2019re in a hurry-up.\u2019 I\u2019m like bailing out.<\/p>\n

“At that moment, I was like, \u2018Yeah, this is probably my last year. I don\u2019t got it for these young dudes right now.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Smith was balling out when the Bucs and Eagles met for “Thursday Night Football,” as he had 199 combined yards in the two games prior. But, despite Sherman believing he couldn\u2019t keep up with Smith, he only finished with two catches for 31 yards that game on four targets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bucs<\/a> would also end up winning, 28-22.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, as Sherman noted, injuries didn\u2019t help matters in his final year. He dealt with the calf injury before an Achilles injury ended his season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sherman played just five games with the Bucs, though he did have one interception and a fumble recovery over that span.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sherman did, however, see what Smith was bringing to the NFL, as the Alabama product had a breakout sophomore season last year with 1,196 yards and seven touchdowns on 95 receptions from quarterback Jalen Hurts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sherman converted to his sports media career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
