Washington Redskins safety DeAngelo Hall plays down the ability of Seattle Seahawks counterpart Richard Sherman.

Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall has played down the ability of Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.

Sherman memorably proclaimed that he was the best corner in the league following a match-winning play in the NFC championship game against the San Francisco 49ers last season, but Hall does not believe that to be the case.

The 30-year-old three-time Pro Bowler admitted that Sherman's numbers were "impressive", but claimed that the fact teams continually threw the ball his way proves he is not among the league's elite in his position.

"I'd be a fool to sit here and say his numbers aren't impressive because they are. I'd also be a fool to sit here and say hands down he's the best corner in the game. I don't honestly believe that. I believe he's one of the best corners in the game," Hall told 106.7 The Fan.

"But until he adds a little more to his game as far as being able to put him on an island and actually check that guy no matter where he is, it's going to be hard for me to say that. This kid seems to always get the ball when it's thrown his way, but teams always seem to throw his way. When you're at the top of your game, guys don't throw your way.

"When I was that guy, I went to Pro Bowls with three picks and four picks, because teams knew, 'Heck, we don't want to throw it his way. When we do, he picks it off.' I mean, I rarely got targeted in those days, but I still made the Pro Bowl. So for this kid to be at eight picks, and seven picks and six - it just kind of blows my mind."

Hall recently signed a four-year extension to his contract with the Redskins.
