WATCH VIDEO: Peyton Manning on Developing Synergy

PEYTON MANNING: To form the timing that we have in just two years with guys like Decker and Thomas, it's a real credit to those guys for putting in the hard work. And, then Welker in just this first year, he and I have been on a cram session since April, talking after practice, working out routes because we can't get to the timing that he and Brady had that took 6 years of hard work together. But, Wes and I don't have six years left to play together so we really crammed this year same with Julius Thomas and then Adam Gage really helped me with learning the new offense. He met me halfway on some plays that I ran in my earlier offense. He said there's some new plays that I think you would like. I'll help you learn them. He and Mike McCoy last year really helped out a lot with that.

VIDEO: Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman also talks about the mindset needed to play defender and corner

What's The 411Sports correspondent Andrew Rosario caught up with Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman at Super Bowl Media Day 2014. Of course, Sherman had a lot to talk about. In this video, Sherman gives us his picks for great NFL receivers.

ANDREW ROSARIO: Does it help you at all to have not a dislike, but to have something that you don't like about your opponent to help your game?

RICHARD SHERMAN: I think it does help to have a certain attitude and a certain mindset about your opponent especially to play defender to play corner and to be out there on the island. Kam Chancellor calls it the dark place and he has a really dark place that he goes. I really don't want to go there. Listen there's some fantastic receivers out there Calvin Johnson, Josh Gordon, Demaryius (Thomas), Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd, Dez Bryant. There's a lot of great receivers playing great football out there, 2 great receivers playing in Chicago and Brandon Marshall and those guys do a great job in Green Bay they got receivers. I respect the tremendous amount of receivers because they play the game well and they play the game like they suppose to.

After posting this interview, on YouTube, of Richard Sherman talking about great NFL wide receivers, you can imagine it sparked serious debate.

Do you agree with Richard Sherman? Did Sherman leave off your pick for great wide receivers? Sound off in the comment section under the video on YouTube.

VIDEO Discussion: Denver Broncos Demaryus Thomas' mom one of the prisoners serving time under harsh drug sentencing laws

On Monday, July 13, 2015, President Barack Obama granted clemency to the prison sentences of 46 non-violent drug offenders, and one of those prisoners who is set to be freed is the mother of Denver Broncos Demaryius Thomas.

Katrina Smith, the mother of the Denver Broncos wide receiver, incarcerated since 2000, was arrested along with his grandmother, Minnie Pearl Thomas, in 1999 for narcotics trafficking when Demaryius was only 11-years-old.

Smith refused to testify against her mother in exchange for a reduced sentence and was scheduled to be released in 2017, while Minnie Pearl Thomas received a life sentence as a multiple offender.

Now, thanks to President Obama, Katrina Smith will be reunited with her son on November 10, 2015.

The White House issued a press release explaining the action, saying that “federal sentencing practices can, in too many instances, lead nonviolent drug offenders to spend decades, if not life, in prison.”

These unduly harsh sentences are one of the reasons the president is committed to using all the tools at his disposal to remedy unfairness in our criminal justice system. Today, he is continuing this effort by granting clemency to 46 men and women, nearly all of whom would have already served their time and returned to society if they were convicted of the exact same crime today.

Upon hearing the news, Demaryius posted on twitter:

“God is good.. Great news today, my best lady come home November 10.. Godbless..
