Video: Richard Sherman Clarifies Travis Hunter 'Bland' Remark, Laughs Off Any 'Beef'

After recent comments from NFL legend Richard Sherman apparently calling Colorado star Travis Hunter "bland," Sherman joined Hunter's podcast to discuss the remarks.

Sherman and Hunter laughed off any beef and Sherman explained that he didn't say "bland," but rather said Hunter might blend into the crowd as a receiver compared to playing cornerback in the NFL.

"First off, people hear what they want to hear," Sherman said (0:43 mark). "What I said was 'blend.' ...It's just because there's so many dudes playing receiver. So many 4.3 (second 40-yard dash), 6'1", athletic. You see (Alabama's Ryan Williams), you see all these young kids. There's a lot of young kids that are talented that can play receiver. But there are very few corners that can be athletic, have the ball skills have the extinct. Corner's a different beast... To have somebody with those ball skills is more rare than having a receiver that can do it. That's what I meant, you're going to blend into the crowd, but as a corner, it just stands out. Everything you do stands out far and away."

After Hunter initially perceived Sherman as calling him bland, he responded by wearing a t-shirt that read "bland" before Colorado's matchup with UCF on Saturday.

Sherman and most college football fans would likely agree that Hunter is anything but bland. The Buffaloes star has 561 receiving yards and six touchdowns through just five games and has been electric on defense with 15 tackles, two interceptions, three passes deflected and a forced fumble.

Soon, he will have to make a decision whether he wants to pursue an NFL career as a wide receiver or as a defensive back, much like Sherman had to do when he was in college at Stanford.

With any beef between the two now sorted out, Hunter will likely look to the Future Hall of Famer for advice.
