Welcome back to the Richard Sherman podcast, and I'm excited as I can be. Hey, brother, it's been a long time coming. I've been a big fan of your game.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Late round traffic. Well, you was in the seventh. I thought I was doing bad when I went to fifth, but you went in the seventh, and you've made the best of it. You've been incredible since you got there. Tell me, how has that journey been? Because I heard you worked at Wendy's for a second,
Starting point is 00:02:41 and now you're starting in your third, third Super Bowl. Tell me about that. If you told me four or five years ago, I'd be here today, I'll tell you it was lying. I just, you know, put one foot in front or other than just, you know, each day try to take advantage of every opportunity I was given, you know, draft day. That was tough, sending all these people getting dropped in front of you, but I had an opportunity. And I just tried to make the most of it. First game of the year, my record year, Trent got hurt and I had an opportunity
Starting point is 00:03:13 that's playing with it. Talk me through because your journey is so unusual, so different. You know, and I guess it's not unusual because you know, the NFL is full of special people like yourself, but you went from your high school where you was a man, then you go JC.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Yeah. Then you get to college and ball out, but then you get drafted seventh round to walk me through draft day because my draft day, I was pissed. I was pissed. I'm sitting there waiting after the first two days. My whole family want to do this event. I told them not to do it.
Starting point is 00:03:44 And they want to do all this stuff. And then they're sitting there on the third day. They don't even show up. They're there for the first or second day. The third day, the room is empty. And then they called me. And I'm like, you know what I mean? Like, frustrated.
Starting point is 00:03:54 I mean, that day is so long. And you're just so anxious and ready to see where you're going to go. I kind of figured I was, I thought I was going probably early fifth. But I was looking at all their corners. I played in the scene bowl and went to the combine. So I was pretty familiar. with everyone in their game. And I was like, okay, after Tariq get drafted,
Starting point is 00:04:16 because that's my dog, I was like, after Tariq get drafted, I should be the next corner off. So I was just waiting on him to get drafted. And I seen it get drafted, then all these corners I never heard of kept getting drafted in front of me. And I'm getting mad, and I'm supposed to be enjoying my day and spending this time with my fam,
Starting point is 00:04:38 and they see the frustration in my face. So they had to take my phone because I'm watching every draft pick. Just went outside, tried to enjoy time with the film, but I just couldn't. Then I started getting all these calls. If I don't get drafted, where should I go? And I'm thinking I'm calling to get drafted. Then KC. finally popped up and they draft me, and I was so excited. And I already knew Trent because he was at Washington.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And me and Josh played in the scene ball together, so we was really close. So it worked out perfect. Well, when you got there, you must have made a big first impression because you're a seventh rounder. You know how this league go as, you know, you've been in it for a couple years now. And, you know, as a seventh rounder, you know, it is what it is. Your draft spot gets you a little bit more leeway, gets you a little bit more opportunity, more plays, more reps.
Starting point is 00:05:30 You know what I mean? As a seventh rounder, you might get one rep a period. You know, you better Sean. So you must have been out there scrapping. Yep. If I get three reps, I was trying so hard those three reps and just scratch car and fight to try to show the coaches like they can trust in me. I was always in the film room making sure I knew what to do.
Starting point is 00:05:49 So if my time came up, I could, you know, take advantage of it and play fast and not hesitant. With this defense, you have to really know ball. Everyone knows how spas gets. When we first, you know, seen a playbook, it looked like a different language. We like, what is this? But yeah, just sitting in the film room, being able to play fast. and, you know, no football. I think me growing up playing quarterback helped me a lot,
Starting point is 00:06:16 being able to, you know, re-rout concepts and know what the offense is looking for in the defense and how we present the defense. What made you make the transition? You made it at Washington State, obviously, but what was going through your mind? You know, why not safety? I think corner I can control my destiny the most
Starting point is 00:06:36 out of any other position. So I just chose that. Rob. Bro, I've said the exact same words out of my mouth. That's why I switched from receiver. I was like, I get tired of depending on a quarterback throwing a good football, the offensive line blocking. I got to be the play call for me.
Starting point is 00:06:53 And it don't matter if I'm open or not. If all the stuff doesn't go right, I still ain't getting the ball. Exactly. In that corner, if I stop you from catching it or I catch it a few times, I'm great. Could you ever imagine having the amount of success you had when you got to Kansas City? Obviously, they were already a power. They had beat us in the Super Bowl right before, you know what I mean, a couple of years before you came, but they hadn't won it, but he's still in my homes this prime, and you come in there,
Starting point is 00:07:19 and you, you ain't never seen a season, got in with a trip to the Super Bowl. Right. I mean, no, I don't think anyone thought we would be here, but it's a blessing. I don't take it for granted. I enjoy every single moment, every single practice, you know, spending it with these great guys in the locker room. And it's just a great organization, like, top to bottom. Yeah, y'all had some. Ligerius Sneed was there your first year, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:07:45 And he was, y'all all keep walking out here with these 30 numbers. And before Ligerius, it was Charverius. And he was out there in the 3-5, I think. And I'm like, is this something in Kansas City where they tell y'all, hey, you come in, you've got to put a 30 number on and go out there and strap. Because, God. No, it was crazy. I just found out.
Starting point is 00:08:07 I want to say last year it was 36th corners drafted, and I was the 35th corner out of 36th draft it. Yeah. That's cool. People always ask, like, why are you number 35? I didn't pick the number. It's the number they gave me. But it just so happened.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I was the 35th out of 36th corner drafted in my class. Hey, from now, I'm going with that. I'm going with that from now. So tell me your mindset now, because, you know, obviously it's about to be Super Bowl week. to be locked in, but you've been through it so many times. And walk me through your first Super Bowl experience. I've been to three. Unfortunately, we lost two of them, but the experience, you know, once you have the first one, you kind of got a bead for what to expect going in, but your first one
Starting point is 00:08:52 had to be kind of mind-blowing. Yeah. I mean, at the end of the day, you're going there to, you know, be a champion. And with that, it's always going to be in history. You're going to be in the history, but it's going to be a lot of distractions but just like showing the young guys that we're here for one reason that's the win this game so um you don't have to be locked in 24-7 but we got to remember why we there let our family and everyone knows go out have fun and do that thing but remember why we go on there you talked about spags and the playbook being another language what has he meant for your growth as a corner as a player you know know, as a person, because, I mean, he's obviously known as the best,
Starting point is 00:09:38 if not one of the best defensive coordinators in the National Football League, and you've had in your entire career. Talk about his impact on you. You know, with Spax, even, like, to get the X's and O's, he's just a great leader of men, and he knows how to get everyone locked in, the whole team playing as one, and we play for each other. But that's why when you see us, like I watch film on receivers, and I'm saying them play other defense, the backside safety might be jogging.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Then it's a missed tackle, now the tackle, now the play goes for 45 yards. Explosives lead the points pretty much 85, 90% of the time. So just like seeing us play on film versus other teams, how all 11 just flying to the ball, hands stills out of us. That's every day at practice. like, he instills so much confidence in me. I think this was the perfect defense for me to come in and really help my career with just pressing every play,
Starting point is 00:10:41 which is what I love to do, and just be able to make plays on the ball. Well, you're doing a great job with that. I mean, your first pick in the National Football League was a 99-yard pick six. I mean, you can't write it up better than that. Yeah, you can't. Never forget that day, boy.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Kate, Kate. Look, I was talking, I had McDuffie on earlier in the season, and he hadn't got one yet. And then he got two back to back, but he was like, man, I can't wait to get my first one. I said, you've been strapping for a long time not to put your hands on the football, man. I know what's coming. He dropped about three, but we all knew we all knew it's coming soon or later. This ain't no little itty-bitty teeny tiny bowl. This is Super Bowl 59.

Starting point is 00:12:44 Y'all, y'all run a great scheme, man. Y'all, y'all do a great job. Y'all did a great job against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills and stopping a tush. Bush. You know what I mean, obviously, they got all the controversy. Did he get it? Clearly he didn't get it, because if he got it, then they would have gave him the first down. You know, that's the story for a different day. I don't feel like arguing with these people no more because I'm a defensive player. And I hate to hear these people. They get a thousand rules in their favor. And then they want to complain about every single thing. Hey, you touch this dude.
Starting point is 00:13:10 You tackled him low. You tackled him high. You grabbed them over here. You spit around and your body landed on his ankle. Like, come on now. But during the week that y'all practiced to work on stopping that, because you're not going live in practice. And I know them D. Lyman ain't sitting there really bashing heads.
Starting point is 00:13:28 And y'all going to have to, no mind, never mind, don't tell me, because y'all will have to do it again this next week. Right. But, you know, that's been such a really pivotal play for Buffalo and obviously a pivotal play for the Eagles. That's obviously a point of conversation. And some of y'all feel confident y'all have been able to stop. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:49 It's tough because if you look at it, basically every first down is now first and nine. because once they get their nine yards, you already know it's coming. Like you said, we're going against it again, so I can't say too much. But Spacks, he's an intelligent man. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:14:09 I agree. We're not going to talk about it because I don't want to talk logistics in Super Bowl week and I don't want to get nobody in trouble. But it's really cool, the plan that you all had with Josh, talk about your technique as a corner and anybody that you looked up to when formulating me because you press,
Starting point is 00:14:24 you up there, you freaking know, on nose, just about every time I see you. I mean, even your off is good, but, you know, we six, too. Our offer ain't going to be what the five, what Trent says. Yeah, well, I tell these boys, they, you're, your feet getting the ground quicker than ours. So I need to be up there. No, it was, um, you and, um, Jaylon Randi. That was my favorite, too.
Starting point is 00:14:47 That's good ones. That's good ones. I mean, press is such a, such an art and you step, not everybody's steps, you know, me, a lot of dudes motor out. I don't know what y'all call it, but a lot of dudes do that motorout technique, but your step kick is smooth, you patient as ever. We had your very first game against the Chargers, and that's when they showed you,
Starting point is 00:15:06 and it was you and Charverius out there, and you were a rookie that they're drafting the seventh route, and you, I want to say you gave up like two catches or three catches in the game, but you were, like, all contested grabs, all right on their back, all right there. And for a rookie to come in playing like that at, even if you're a first rounder, it's like impressive. But for you to come in to the seventh round and be that prepared, like, I know you said,
Starting point is 00:15:32 hey, Trin got hurt and I was ready for my moment, but that's easier said than done. Talk me through your process and your mindset during that game. Growing up, anyone that's ever known me, I always know I'm a super confident person. Like, it got ridiculous to where it got, people thought I was arrogant. But that's just a confidence level I have. having myself. I always grew up like that. Younger playing with the older kids. I used to be the first one picked up. They know I'm going to talk trash. They know I'm going to compete. And that's what I want to do. I want to compete against the best people at the highest level. So this is what I
Starting point is 00:16:11 dreamed of. I can't shy away from it. And I just use it as fuel, being the seven-round job pick and showing everyone what they missed out on passing up on me. No question. That was the shit. Preach. preach. Yeah. But you go from Augusta, Georgia to to the Pacific Northwest. You talk about a change. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Washington State is, Pullman is cool, but it's the only thing up there. Yeah. Like, that had to be a little bit of a culture shot. Yeah, it definitely was.
Starting point is 00:16:43 I mean, going out to Juco, I went to Juco and Kelly, so all the schools recruited me was mostly out west. It was so cold It was so cold when I went to Washington State But I was kind of used to the West Coast vibe But it was a little different
Starting point is 00:17:03 Than it was in L.A. than poor, man But I enjoyed it, man. It was a great college atmosphere. All they knew was football and party. I tried to stay out of that. But, yeah, it was a good college atmosphere. That's a type of college atmosphere. I wanted to go to, and I come to Kansas.
Starting point is 00:17:23 It's just like the same type vibe here. It's just football. Everyone loves it here. And it's cold here, too. So I was kind of used to it. I was about to say, everything prepared you for where you are right now. No question about it. How much family you got potentially coming to the Super Bowl?
Starting point is 00:17:40 You know, I mean, it's a quick trip. It's probably as close as any of y'all Super Bowes have been. Yep. So you got a lot of people, you got more people coming to this one than came to the other two? Uh, nah, same amount. Got about seven, eight. Can't keep adding people. You know them Super Bowl tickets.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Yes, I do. They take your whole check. Yeah, a whole check. But I'm happy to hear you doing well, man. I'm proud of you. You're a freaking fantastic player. You get books in the playoffs. It doesn't seem like the playoffs affect you.
Starting point is 00:18:11 You obviously got injured this year against San Francisco. That was tough. You know, broke your fibula. I imagine your mind was, you know, a thousand places. but to be able to come back and be prepared for the playoffs the way you have and to take off where you left off, how? How did you do that? And talk me through the conversations with Andy Reed and Spags
Starting point is 00:18:34 because sometimes coaches get real, I don't know, tight about the playoffs, especially when you ain't been playing. You know what I mean? Like you were the starter and you got injury. You never lose your spot to injury is what they say, but you get to the playoffs and you ain't played, and they're like, I don't know if I want to bring you back right now. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:50 I can do none of it without God, honestly. Like, I was in a very depressed state of my life, and I was just getting in my word more, and it was helping me a lot more than just sitting back in Kansas. It's not anything to do but football here. And before I got my surgery, my surgeon told me I'm probably out for the season. But, and as soon as he said the word, but my, eyes lit up.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Every day I just try to take advantage of each day, work my butt off to get back, man. I started getting close. She was like, I'm trying to, she was like, oh, you're looking good right now. You're moving faster than expected. Once I hear that, I just started going harder, harder, harder. Every day, I think I came back too much before I expected it.
Starting point is 00:19:45 And it was just a blessing. And then with Spags and OBC, Coach Mary, our corners coach like once that 21 day window open they said I had to show them at practice and if that didn't feel like I was ready I went in place I just blessed my butt that whole time
Starting point is 00:20:04 and I did what I needed to do to get back on the field and it's just a blessing to be out here with my teammates. It's a blessing of being another Super Bowl just had that brotherhood, that locker room talk that I was missing. I just missed it all and I had to get back to it
Starting point is 00:20:20 Talk about that brotherhood because there's like there's a lot of talented defenses. There's a lot of good coordinators. But what y'all have been able to do for the past three years, like in playoffs and the regular season, like it's now considered one of the best quarterbacks of all time, a defensive team. Talk about like the relationship with Jay Reed and McDuffie and, you know, Bolton and Chris Jones and all the special players that you all have on their defense. Yeah, everyone's just so close-knit. Like, it's literally a brotherhood.
Starting point is 00:20:55 We hang out with each other outside of practice. Then you think about it. You got the fat five with me, Josh, N.J. Trent and Cook and Jay Reed and Dion Bush, we all came in together the same year. So that was all our first year. We all didn't know the playbook together. And now we all know it. We all came in here.
Starting point is 00:21:19 We all close. We spend time with each other. It's so many just friendly people, like, during competition battles, everyone willing to help. It's no ill will towards anyone. And just to be in a group and hear the other players talk from their experience on other teams, they say it's not like this. Right. So I know it's a special group, and you can see how we play on the field together
Starting point is 00:21:48 that everyone's brothers, everyone. why enjoy is playing with each other. And you never know whose last game is going to be that you're playing with. So just try to end out on a good note. Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:22:05 We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.
Starting point is 00:22:14 We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we, do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
Starting point is 00:22:52 But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Keith Giamonka seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad. But secretly, he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea?
Starting point is 00:23:48 It seemed very crazy. But I felt so desperate that. I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No. I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever, because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed.
Starting point is 00:24:47 And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of race. of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert Lee Boulevard. Get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway. If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something
Starting point is 00:25:18 to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space. We are more than our bodies. We contain essence. we contain Spirit. How do you represent that? They are just fueling a fire that is really catching. You'll see what I mean. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Trent and Jay Reid said, man, no matter what happens in games, just as a team and as a defensive unit, y'all, y'all never stop believing. You know what I mean? And that just goes back to what you're speaking on, the brotherhood, the trust, you know what I mean, being with each other all the time. But he says no matter what the scores look like or what just happened in the game, you always feel like it's going to work out and you don't end up win it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:04 I mean, like you said, how we have one of the best quarterbacks ever, and we're kind of known as a defensive team now. Us as a defense, we know we have the best quarterback. So we always know we have a chance to win. And Spads hold us to such a high standard. If we're one and a half time, that should be game in his mind.
Starting point is 00:26:26 So, I mean, it wears hand in hand. Now, this is selfishly personal for me. I got to know that last play, the last play, the pressure, because fags going two pressures back to back, and he disguising it the way I don't need the exes and the holes or secrets. I just, like, when that call came in, what were you thinking? Because y'all pressed the pressure,
Starting point is 00:26:51 and for him to pressure the nub side and the safeties to rotate slate, I was like, these boys are nuts for the game. Yeah. So it was a TV timeout. Nick is the brains of the defense. Him and Spaz are like crazy. So I'm standing in the middle of the field. I'm just psyching myself out like whatever he called.
Starting point is 00:27:17 This ball will not get caught on me there, not getting his first down. I see them talking. Nick come back and he tell us the. call. I said, oh, I had two sucks last year, and both of my stats came off that exact same. Play, like, that pressure hits every time. And he did a good job. Whatever he called, is going to trust in him.
Starting point is 00:27:45 But I think everyone that knows ball knows some type of bliss was going to come. And he got home. Trent came free. George did a good job. Night letting Josh rolled out to his right. And so he had to throw it up. And fortunate for us, we got the dub. No question.
Starting point is 00:28:06 But even after that happened, it was a lot of chaos because in the back end, that's what people don't know. Everybody's looking at the quarterback and the pressure. I'm looking at the back end. And Ted, the way they get an attack. And I'm like, uh-oh, like, I don't think it's a bust. I think it might just be a weakness of the coverage. And that's what some people don't understand.
Starting point is 00:28:24 It's not always an answer for 100% of everything. Just because you call something, no means it's an answer for every single thing the offense can present. They think, oh, man, somebody was open. Somebody must have made a mistake. Like, nobody made a mistake. The pressure getting home is what's supposed to happen if somebody's open. If somebody open is because the pressure got home. That's the weakness of the defense. But as a secondary, y'all do such a great job of playing off each other, even like manipulating the coverage and making the coverage come to life. It's so cool to watch, man. And that's just, that ain't a question or anything. That's just me giving the cap tip to y'all defense,
Starting point is 00:28:57 man, y'all play a hell of a hell of a job. Appreciate that, man. So fun. It's a fun. Yeah, it looked like. It looked like it. We played a lot of good defense, but ours was a lot simpler. Ours was more Jimmies and Joe's than scheme.
Starting point is 00:29:11 But, yeah. But I don't want to take up to my notice. I appreciate you giving me the time. If you got any questions for me or want to ask me anything, or, you know, me and go back and forth anything you got for me, I'm happy to answer about anything. Who the toughest receiver You won against
Starting point is 00:29:29 Megatron Megatron That's him I'm telling you Like bro When you put on the tape And you look at a dude Who getting viced
Starting point is 00:29:40 By people And then he catching a ball Over three people And then our coach Our coach came in a meeting, bro The honest 2012 He put a tape on
Starting point is 00:29:50 Of the Saints vicing him On the goal line They're like the three And he was like Yeah we're thinking about installing this. Me and the other corner Brandon Brown and walked out the meeting and said,
Starting point is 00:29:59 hey, y'all go ahead and put somebody else in to do that. Y'all going to have to show me. He'll have to show me that he liked that. Like, you're not about to put nobody next to me? The hell what I look like? You know, it's crazy. That same thing happened last year with Sneed. I forget who it would plan.
Starting point is 00:30:16 It may be been a Bengals with Tase. Mm-hmm. And it was a possible vice if they presented a certain look. And see it was like, boy, don't you come out here. She's so disrespectful. Like, as a DB, you just too private, you cannot let that happen. Like, we might can bracket or disguise it.
Starting point is 00:30:42 We are not both about the part return protection. No. We're not doing it. Because if he somehow get both of us, we are never living down. Not that for a really supposed to be in the league. What are supposed to be here? So, but he was like that now, now. He was fully like that.
Starting point is 00:31:03 But I said, hey, I'm like that too now. I'm 6'3. I'm supposed to be built to stop him. But when I tell you, my whole plan was to never let him get comfortable, never let him get to like even or shoulder in front, like with space on that red line, if that boy gave me a hezzy, straight to the cutoff angle. I'm straight to cutoff angle.
Starting point is 00:31:24 You can run as many slants as you want, Calvin. You ain't running no. and catching this over on top of my head. Yeah, I got kids. You get cut on his force, center. Yeah, no, I wasn't doing that. But he was the toughest, man, because he just did so many things well.
Starting point is 00:31:38 He was fast. Julio's right next to him because Quintor's boy was like covering a horse. Yeah, that was my boy. I grew up a fan. That's what I wanted you to say, but I understand. No, they won A, 1B. And ain't no disrespect to Quintors. But at that point, you got your hands fully full when he step on that field.
Starting point is 00:31:58 He runs horse. that boy running routes like like what the rent is due. And if he don't get these feet in the ground, his family is out in the cold. You cover him. You could have all the understanding of a scheme and this
Starting point is 00:32:13 and that, and I know the splits and I know all this, but he was built in the lab. And whatever y'all got in the water in Georgia, he had a lot of it. Yeah. I saw the questions I had
Starting point is 00:32:26 I got to go. get this treatment. Respect and love and good luck on your third Super Bowl brother. I hope you ball out. I hope you get defense MVP. Yeah, that'd be great. Appreciate you for having me, dude. Anytime, brother.
