Finally, self proclaimed “best cornerback in the NFL,” Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks is putting his big mouth to proper use. In this video, loud-mouthed, Sherman replicates his post-playoff game rant and rather than his target being San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree, his ranting is directed at fighting cancer.
Instead of stating that he is the best in the game, Sherman, who has teamed up with the Swedish Cancer Institute in Seattle, is marketing that this institute as the “best in the game.”
I have to say, this video had me fooled for a second, as Sherman is wearing his uniform and championship hat, which mirrors quite closely the post Seahawks/49ers game interview that Sherman had with Erin Andrews from FOX Sports.

Per Fox Sports, here is a portion of what Sherman, who is finally ranting for something other than personal gain, has to say.
When you try them with some weak cancer cells — that’s what you gon’ get. They can intercept the genetic profile of a cancer cell, then prescribe personalized therapy. That’s not mediocre.
Quite cleverly, Sherman managed to get the word “intercept” in his message. And, whether you’re a Sherman lover or hater, it is nice to see athletes concentrating their efforts in a positive ways. I’ll give kudos to Sherman because this one was well-played in my book.
Remember Richard Sherman's epic rant after NFC Championship? Now he's going in on cancer in a new commercial. VIDEO: http://t.co/FOB2hZC95j
