Richard Sherman no longer is a member of the 49ers, but he still clearly has some love for his former organization.
Sherman spoke about the 49ers on his podcast with Pro Football Focus, and offered high praise for the 2021 squad.
"At the end of the day they're one of the most talented teams in football, they got one of the best MIKE linebackers, obviously George Kittle one of the best tight ends in the league, and they got one of the best offensive minds," Sherman said. "Jimmy is playing unbelievable football and he has over the past four or five games, they haven't won them all but he has been doing his part and playing his part. The secondary has come together, Jimmie Ward is getting healthy and you see he shows up in primetime, two huge plays, the interception and the pick-six, he's one of the best safeties in the National Football League."
