17. Richard Sherman – Seahawks & 49ers:
Sherman was a famed member of the Seahawks’ “Legion of Boom” defense that trounced the historic offense of the 2013 Denver Broncos 43-8 in the Super Bowl. He was one of the best cornerbacks in the league during his prime.
But he was also known for his brash, over-the-top style. He posted the infamous “U mad bro” photo on Twitter taunting Tom Brady. He was also suspended for using Adderall during the 2012 season, which he later appealed. And of course, who could forget his legendary rant after the Seahawks beat the 49ers in the 2013 NFC title game. He stopped receiver Michael Crabtree, made a choke gesture at Colin Kaepernick, and uncorked this gem to interviewer Erin Andrews:
“Well, I’m the best corner in the game! When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that’s the result you gonna get! Don’t you ever talk about me! Don’t you open your mouth about the best, or you know I’m gonna shut it for you real quick!”
