Last year's PFWA Good Guy Award went to Russell Wilson. This year it's Richard Sherman.

he Good Guy Award is given to a NFL player for his qualities and professional style in helping pro football writers do their jobs. The award was first given by the PFWA in 2005.

“Not only is Richard Sherman one of the top cover guys on defense, he’s one of the absolute best for media coverage,” said ESPN’s John Clayton. “He’s smart. Because he studies every aspect of the game, he’s perhaps the best resource for knowledge of the current game I’ve ever run across. He’s willing to be outspoken and quotable. And he’s always available to the media. He epitomizes the Good Guy Award.”

I wonder how the media's feeling about Sherm this morning after they bit hard on the whole "Football players have to the be most mentally prepared athletes" tweet and the various famous athletes that tweeted their disagreement...only to now find out they were all just playing their part in a marketing ploy.

Wow, is it just me, or are we seeing a little more-than-usual cynicism around here lately? I get it; we work hard, we toil, we tolerate, and we succumb, but can't Seahawks fandom be at least a little respite from all that?

I don't follow enough forms of media to even suggest your comments on a marketing ploy as valid or not, but it sure feels harsh whilst standing on my tippy-toes peeking over the fence.

Are you getting enough protein in your diet SnoCo?

What am I missing?

Congrats to Sherman. His maturation over the last year has been impressive to behold. This is a well deserved award for one of the faces of the franchise.

Lynch snubbed again...

He's definitely matured massively over the last year!

Although I loved him a year ago, his brashness and arrogance made for fantastic viewing.

The media eats that stuff up.

I don't think Sherman has matured in the last year, rather the whole I'm the greatest/ Crabtree sucks ploy he did from the sb in n. o. through the "tip" got him the attention he needed for name recognition. Everyone who hates Sherman helped make him what he is today, media wise. Mission accomplished and back to the loveable jabbermouth.

Overseasfan · Jun 17, 2015

I didn't think Sherm would ever even be considered for something like this lookign at how he's usually portrayed in the media as some sort of thug.

grizbob · Jun 17, 2015

To be honest, if Sherman was on any other team I would hate his guts :twisted:

Not at all.

One can object to the way he promoted himself and leveraged his brand earlier in his career without denying that he's probably the best interviewee in the NFL and (when not playing his schtick) an incredibly smart and perceptive guy who, unlike most pro-athletes, is actually willing to speak his mind and worth listening to when he does so.

I've said it many times before, but on balance I really like Richard Sherman.

Well deserved recognition for him, IMO.

One of the most non-homer posts I've read on this site from a fan of any team, and shows a depth of perception that extends beyond usual team-allegiances, in spite of some... uh... key moments where he ruined your team's hopes. You're a gentleman, Popeye.

I wish I could say the same about him if he were on another team. He's interesting to listen to, for sure. I'm just glad he's still a Hawk!

This is a pat on the back of someone that makes the media happy. So in my opinion it is a thank you for participating award. Beast will never get one.....yeah.

Better than Marvin who was posting that he hoped someone would injure Sherman by taking out his knees. :49ersmall:
