Sherman, 33, a three-time first-team All-Pro, five-time Pro Bowler, and Super Bowl XLVIII champion, said:

He’s just a competitor. We have the same spirit in that regard.

Anything that it takes to win, obsessed, a lot of what Kobe Bryant stood for — the late, great — and so you can appreciate that about each other. That’s what kind of attracted me to come. He’s the same kind of animal I am.

Sherman also spoke about mental health following his arrest in July.

He wrote in a statement on his Twitter account after his court appearance:

I am deeply remorseful for my actions on Tuesday night. 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.
