Drafted in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks, Richard Sherman is a cornerback who currently plays for the San Francisco 49ers. In what was definitely the best season of his career so far, Sherman led he NFL in interceptions in 2013. As a result, he was also selected for the Pro Bowl that season and made it to the All-Pro First Team as well. The icing on the cake came in the form of a Vince Lombardi Trophy when the Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl XLVIII by beating the Denver Broncos.
A 4-time Pro Bowler and a 3-time All-Pro First Team selection, Richard Sherman joined the San Francisco 49ers in March 2018 after being released by the Seahawks due to his nagging injuries. He has an estimated net worth of $25 million.
Sherman has already earned close to $57 million throughout his 8-year career so far in the NFL. He is currently tied to a 3-year $27.15 million contract that he signed with the 49ers in 2018.
Last year, his total salary earnings amounted to $8.8 million which included $2 million as base salary, $3 million as signing bonus, $3.75 million as roster bonus, and $50,000 as workout bonus. Sherman is slated to earn the same figure again in 2019, only this time it would include a base salary of $7 million, a roster bonus of $1.75 million and a workout bonus of $50,000.
Because of his nature to trash-talk and a habit of making big plays, Sherman has drawn widespread attention during the span of his career. As a result of this, he has appeared in commercials for a plethora of brands including Jeep, Domino's, Nike, Campbell's Soup Company, Microsoft, Wonderful Pistachios, Sports Illustrated, DirecTV, and Head & Shoulders.
In 2013, Sherman established the Blanket Coverage - The Richard Sherman Family Foundation. The aim of this organization was to provide clothing and supplies to kids in low-income communities. He has also participated in the Celebrity Fight Night fundraiser for the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center.
