Richard Sherman, Ex-Stanford CB Speaks Out: 'I am Deeply Remorseful for My Actions'
Richard Sherman released a statement on Friday following his arrest for burglary domestic violence in Seattle, Washington.
"I am deeply remorseful for my actions on Tuesday night," said the former Stanford cornerback.
"I behaved in a manner I am not proud of. I have been dealing with some personal challenges over the last several months, but that is not an excuse for how I acted. The importance of mental and emotional health is extremely real and I vow to get the help I need. I appreciate all of the people who have reached out in support of me and my family, including our community here in Seattle. I am grateful to have such an amazing wife, family and support system to lean on during this time."

On Thursday, a judge ordered Sherman to be released from jail without bail.
