Richard Sherman spent the first seven seasons of his 11-year career playing under now-Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll. The fifth-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft quickly established himself as one of the league's premier cornerbacks and a key member of the Legion of Boom.
He was among those to take notice after Carroll's Raiders debut resulted in a 20-13 road victory over the New England Patriots. Sherman noted that his former coach has a system that has consistently worked throughout his career.
While expectations have been largely tempered for the Raiders during the 2025 NFL season, Sherman also revealed that he fully expects Las Vegas to compete for a postseason spot in the first year under their new head coach.
