In a piece he wrote for the Players Tribune<\/strong><\/a>, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman discussed the five receivers he’s gone head-to-head with who he feels are the most underrated in the NFL.\u00a0 Sherman had some high praise for former teammate and current Jets wide receiver Jermaine Kearse.\u00a0 After showing several clips of many of the clutch catches Kearse made as a member of the Seahawks throughout the years, Sherman gushed over the receiver’s skills and savvy, saying:<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just that he has a knack for making big plays. Overall, he\u2019s an incredibly crafty receiver who does all the little things right. He\u2019s sure-handed, consistent and he\u2019s very adept at using his hands to create separation.\u00a0He has this subtle kind of\u00a0chicken-wing\u00a0move that he uses \u2014 it\u2019s just a slight push-off, like an elbow or forearm nudge as he\u2019s cutting at the top of his route \u2014 and it helps him create a little extra bit of separation. And sometimes that\u2019s all a receiver needs to make a play.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also great at catching the ball out in front of him so it\u2019s difficult for DBs to get their hands in there to break up the pass. He\u2019s 6\u2019 1\u2019\u2019, so he\u2019s not huge, but he uses every last bit of his length to catch the ball out away from the defender.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s just who Jermaine is. He\u2019s the kind of guy who gets the absolute most out of what he\u2019s been given. And he\u2019s definitely a receiver who doesn\u2019t get his due.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The high praise for Kearse should come as no surprise to Jets fans. They’ve seen him go from a player who many viewed as a “throw in” as part of the trade that sent Sheldon Richardson to the Seahawks, to a potential piece of the Jets long-term future plans.<\/p>\n

With three games left to play, Kearse has already tied his career high in touchdowns (5) and with 681 receiving yards, he’s just four shy of tying his career high of 681.\u00a0 Barring injury, it’ll be a career year for Kearse, and possible his first of many in Green and White.<\/p>\n
