Demaryius Thomas: 'I want Richard Sherman matchup'

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has revealed that he is hopeful that he will be covered by Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman in the Super Bowl.

The 26-year-old had an excellent game in the AFC championship game, catching seven passes for 134 yards and a touchdown to send his side to MetLife Stadium to compete for the Vince Lombardi Trophy, and he now wants to elevate his game to the next level.

Thomas told reporters: "He's a great player. I'd love to have that matchup and show what kind of player I am. I don't know if we'll match up, but like I said, he's a great player."

Thomas had 92 receptions for 1,430 yards along with 14 touchdowns in the 2013 regular season.
