Snoop Lion vs. Richard Sherman: Who Won Offseason's Funniest Camp Battle?

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman locked down a host of typically productive NFL receivers in 2012, but before the 2013 campaign he was tested by hip-hop legend Snoop Lion, formerly known as Snoop Dogg. 

The Southern California-based rap icon recently had his buddy Pete Carroll and the All-Pro cornerback as guests during his Snoop Youth Football League mini-camp.

In true Carroll form, the coach suggested Snoop and Sherman square off in a one-on-one battle in the red zone.

At the start, Sherman asserted his dominance, intercepting Carroll's first two passes after the lanky, long-striding Snoop attempted to create separation with a double move and a quick stutter step to the front pylon. 

After taking a 3-0 lead, Carroll finally connected with Snoop in the end zone before again finding him on a nice fade to the corner.

3-2, Sherman.

Then, the two equally-sized competitors switched sides.

In his first attempt as a receiver, Sherman was blanketed in coverage which led to an incompletion. On the next play, Snoop won a jump ball in the back corner of the end zone to take the 4-3 lead.

Sherman did his best Cris Carter impression on the next pass, tip-toeing just before he fell out of bounds, much to the dismay of Snoop, who argued the touchdown. 

Unfortunately, Snoop didn't have a red flag to toss out.

On the final play, an out-and-up route won the friendly duel for Sherman.

Actually, the most notable takeaway from this showdown was Carroll's inconsistency slinging the rock. Let's just say he could learn a few things from Russell Wilson when it comes to accurately throwing the football. 

Officially, Sherman emerged victorious by a point, 5-4, but Snoop undoubtedly held his own against the elite corner.

Once again, though, the Seahawks defender put his fun-loving persona on display in what was the funniest camp battle of the offseason.
