In the Seahawks' Week 1 win over the Packers, Aaron Rodgers did not throw any passes to receivers covered by Richard Sherman. Instead, Rodgers targeted Seattle cornerback Byron Maxwell.

Maxwell says he likes the attention and had a message for opposing quarterbacks on ESPN 710 in Seattle Thursday: "Keep coming at me."

Maxwell had one interception and two passes defended against Green Bay.

Maxwell started five games for Seattle last season. With the departures of Brandon Browner and Walter Thurmond, he is now the full-time starter opposite Sherman.
