Richard Sherman, a sophomore wideout at Stanford, has been named one of the best backup wide receivers in college football by Rivals.com.
According to a recent article by the college football website, "With injuries sidelining Evan Moore and Mark Bradford, Sherman emerged as Stanford's leading receiver with 34 catches for 581 yards. He averaged 101.5 receiving yards per contest over his last four games of the 2005 season. Now that Moore and Bradford have returned, Sherman finds himself having to prove himself all over again. The 6-foot-7 Moore utilized his height to compile 616 receiving yards in 2004 before injuries bothered him the last two seasons. Bradford had averaged 36 catches per game each of his first three seasons before hurting his foot last year. Bradford and Moore are both seniors who enter the season as the most likely starters at receiver, though Sherman still has plenty of time to beat one of them out for a starting job."
