Antonio Cromartie says Richard Sherman is not the best cornerback in the league
Seattle Seahawks starting cornerback has labeled himself as the best cornerback in the NFL, and now someone is calling him out. New York Jets starting cornerback Antonio Cromartie called out Sherman today in an interview with Willie Colon on Sirius XM.
“Go play in a defense where you don’t have two All-Pro safeties. Go follow the No. 1 receiver,” Cromartie said. “Follow him around for a whole entire game and see what you can do. Darrelle Revis has done it his whole career. I’ve done it, Patrick Peterson has done it, Joe Haden has done it. He’s the only defensive back that hasn’t. There’s no point in critiquing him. If you want to label yourself as the best corner in the NFL, follow the best guy on every single team. His whole thing will be ‘we don’t have to do that, I have my trust in the other corner on the other side.’ That’s not the point. If you want to consider yourself the best, the best do what the best do and they follow around the best. And that’s what we’re all getting to.”
