Michael Irvin and Keyshawn Johnson walk off set after Richard Sherman's hot take
Former Stanford and NFL star Richard Sherman is now one of the four co-hosts of the new look FS1 show, Undisputed.
He is joined by long-time host Skip Bayless, and a pair of former NFL star receivers in Michael Irvin, and Keyshawn Johnson. On a recent episode of the show when discussing the top players in the NFL, Sherman explained to his fellow hosts that he believes corner is a harder position. The take led to both Irvin and Johnson walking off the set in disagreement, while Bayless just sat off to the side smirking.
While there is plenty to debate when it comes to this subject matter, I will say corners do have a lot of rules that prevent them from being physical with receivers who are typically the best athletes on the field. It is also worth noting that despite the fact that Sherman played corner in the NFL at the highest level possible, he actually started his college career at Stanford as a receiver before making the switch his junior year.
While the debate was all in good fun, it is evident that the rivalry between defensive backs and receivers will never die.
