Quieter but still productive season from Richard Sherman

Both on the field and when the Seattle Seahawks cornerback is standing behind the podium.

Despite seemingly less attention, Sherman has put together another solid season heading into Sunday's regular-season finale at Arizona.

[...] because of the lack of fanfare surrounding him and the focus placed on other players — namely quarterback Russell Wilson and wide receiver Doug Baldwin — Sherman may not be in line for the individual recognition he's received in previous seasons.

[...] for the first time during that stretch, whether Sherman is honored for a fourth straight season is in question heading into Sunday's game.

Defining Sherman's performance is difficult because quarterbacks have become careful when throwing in his direction and because of the type of defense the Seahawks often play.

According to STATS, Sherman has been targeted 62 times this season, tied for 57th among all cornerbacks.

After almost exclusively playing on the left side of the defense in previous seasons, Sherman has been more willing to float around and take on individual matchups.
