Former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman will be returning to CenturyLink Field for the first time since joining the division rival San Francisco 49ers. During his time playing in front of the 12th Man, Sherman has been a three-time first-team All-Pro, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, and helped Seattle hoist a Lombardi.
What will the fans' reception for Sherman be like when he takes the field on Sunday afternoon wearing red and gold rather than navy and green?
"They'll be great," head coach Pete Carroll told Seattle-area media on Wednesday. "I think he's loved around here for all the great stuff that he did. I don't know that it's going to be noticeable what the reception is like but if it's noticeable, then pretty significant.
"He did a lot of great stuff here. I don't think our fans think any differently than I do about that."
Former teammate and All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner feels Sherman deserves an enthusiastic reception from fans.
"He should be received with the loudest cheer that they could possibly cheer, and the warmest of welcomes," Wagner said. "It's not like he said, 'I hate this team. I want to leave.' It was the business side of everything.
"I would be surprised if anybody booed him. I think he deserves the applause. He was a part of the team that helped bring the city it's first football championship. I wouldn't expect anything other than respect. Even the way he went out, he went out with a lot of class. That's who he is as a person.
"I would be surprised if they booed him. If they do boo him, then they weren't a Richard Sherman fan in the first place."
