RENTON, Wash.
John Tavares Jersey . -- Richard Sherman does not believe in video game curses.
The Seattle Seahawks All-Pro cornerback will have his image plastered on the
front of the next version of EA Sports popular "Madden" football game. Its an
honour thats allegedly been fraught with peril for some past recipients who have
either had subpar seasons or suffered injuries the year they were on the cover.
"I dont think about anything like that. Its just something thats been
fabricated, I think," Sherman said Monday. The video game cover, the result of
winning an online vote, is just another byproduct of whats become an off-season
of accolades for Sherman. Whether it was new endorsements or a contract
extension that made him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, there have been
plenty of opportunities for Sherman to become distracted from his job. Yet,
whenever the Seahawks were holding a session as part of their off-season
program, Sherman was there. Seattle coach Pete Carroll noted Monday that Sherman
has missed "maybe a day" of the voluntary off-season program. "Its voluntary but
Im a ball player. What else am I going to be doing? When youre a ballplayer at
the heart and this is what you sleep, breathe and eat, this is where you want to
be," Sherman said. "I couldnt imagine myself being anywhere else because you
just feel the itch to be back on the field, to be back with your teammates, to
be back out there getting better." Thats not to say Sherman hasnt enjoyed being
a Super Bowl champion. The perks have been plentiful, from endorsement deals to
a contract that will keep him in Seattle through the 2018 season and pay him $40
million in guaranteed money. But thats meant little on the practice field during
OTAs, other than providing fodder for teammates to joke with their star
cornerback. "I think its more about love for the game that allows us not to get
complacent," Sherman said. "Thats why youve got All-Pros and Pro Bowlers are out
here every day of OTAs playing like theyre still fifth (round) and undrafted
players trying to fight for a job. Thats how its always going to be." Carroll
said he believes Sherman has handled the off-season hoopla as well as possible
while maintaining his commitment to the team. Part of that commitment means
educating the younger players Seattle has drafted or signed in the hopes of
finding another gem in the draft like Seattle did getting Sherman in the fifth
round. "Thats the kind of program we run here. You can show them better than you
can tell them, with your actions. You fly to the ball, you play hard, you play
disciplined, sound football and when they have questions youre there to answer
their questions and you push them and make sure they know their assignments,"
Sherman said. "Its not like a lot of other programs where you are closed off and
cant talk to anybody. We make sure were open books." NOTES: Carroll said LB
Bruce Irvins hip surgery last week was successful and the team believes hell be
back by the start of the season. Carroll said it was an issue that had been
bothering Irvin for some time. ... Rookie second-round draft pick WR Paul
Richardson sat out practice as a precaution after landing on his shoulder last
week. ... RB Robert Turbin had his knee "cleaned up" during the off-season and
Carroll said that has helped Turbin stand out during OTAs. Turbin and
Christine Michael have gotten the majority of the work with Marshawn Lynch
absent.
