Pierre Garcon on Richard Sherman: 'He's not anything special'

Washington Redskins receiver Pierre Garcontold Yahoo's Dylan Gwinn that Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is "just another player."

Garcon and Sherman have been feuding since Seattle defeated Washington on Oct. 6. Sherman claimed Garcon pulled on his hair several times during the game before concluding that Garcon "doesn't matter in this league."

Garcon initially responded by posting a picture on Twitter that read "Silence, is the best reply to a fool." He broke his silence on Tuesday.

Gwinn: “Pierre, what’s your take about cornerbacks in the NFL who complain about getting their hair pulled?”

Garcon: “That’s another thing that you don’t have to worry about, that you can’t control. Just keep playing football and keep working.”

Gwinn: “Is Richard Sherman — you know, obviously, you’ve gone up against him now a couple times … Talks a lot of smack, that guy. Is he one of the tougher competitors you face in the league? Is he more talk than he is competitive? What’s your stance on him?”

Garcon: “He’s just another player that, you know, plays defense in this league. He’s not anything special.”
