Richard Sherman: Falcons have 'one of the best defensive minds' in Dan Quinn

INDIANAPOLIS -- Mention Dan Quinn's name and Richard Sherman's eyes widen. His smile spreads.

The four-time Pro Bowl cornerback and one-time Super Bowl champ knows what type of impact Quinn can have on a defense. Sherman was part of the Seattle Seahawks' "Legion of Boom," a group that was the NFL's top-ranked defense in 2013 and 2014 when Quinn was the defensive coordinator.

Sherman, now with the San Francisco 49ers, recalled a specific moment during the 2014 playoffs against Green Bay that was indicative of Quinn's makeup as a coordinator.
