DeAngelo Hall: 'Richard Sherman is not the best in the NFL'

Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall does not believe that Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is the best in the NFL.

Sherman declared that he was the best in the sport following his key play in the NFC championship game to win the match for his side, as he batted the ball away from San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree.

"I definitely think he's the best at what they want him to do, what they ask him to do," Hall told 106.7 The Fan. "To sit there and say he's the best corner in the game is probably not fair because of what they're defense asks him to do.

"To say he's the best corner in the game is a little bit, um, I guess screwed. I love Patrick Peterson myself, personally, just things that guy does on the football field is just exciting. But you can't deny Richard Sherman's numbers. His numbers have been amazing."

Sherman had 49 tackles and eight interceptions in the 2013 regular season.
