Richard Sherman may be just days away from the most important game of his life, but the Super Bowl is not the only thing on the All-Pro cornerback’s mind.
Sherman and his girlfriend, Ashley Moss, are expecting their first child any day now. Moss is expected to give birth to the couple’s son at some point within the next week, meaning there’s a possibility she could go into labor on Sunday.
On Wednesday, a reporter asked Sherman if he is prepared to miss the big game if his son arrives on the day of the Super Bowl.
“We’ll cross that bridge when we get there,” he told reporters, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. “We’re not thinking about the possibility.”
Sherman was asked a similar question during his press conference on Thursday.
“He’s going to be a disciplined young man and stay in there,” he joked. “He’s going to do his father his first favor.”
We can’t imagine Sherman missing the game regardless, but you never know. Family comes first for a lot of players regardless of the circumstances.
While Moss has been a mainstay at Sherman’s games throughout the season, she’ll likely watch the Super Bowl from some place more comfortable than a box seat on Sunday.
