In 2022, among all WR who blocked at least 150 times in the run game, Sherfield had the highest grade, according to PFF. A special teamer. Willing to get dirty. MIN needs these qualities on O. https://t.co/fi6ApOoV1p
Sherfield would currently be competing against the likes of Trishton Jackson and N’Keal Harry for the WR4 role.
In 2021, Sherfield joined the 49ers and caught nine passes for 87 yards with a score after playing his first three seasons with Arizona.
