49ers' Richard Sherman selected as PFF's top coverage defender for 2019

Super Bowl LIV will take place in Miami in just under two weeks, and it will feature one of the game’s best cornerbacks, who is back to something like the peak of his powers, in the form of San Francisco 49ers standout Richard Sherman.

The fact that Sherman has been able to get back this level after suffering a torn Achilles as late into his career as he did is remarkable. We recently named him as the best cornerback of the decade, and now he can add our award for the best coverage player at any position to his PFF trophy case.
