Start with the Seattle Seahawks

In the 2011 NFL Draft, Sherman was selected in the fifth round by the Seattle Seahawks; he was subsequently signed to a four-year, $2.22 million contract. Sherman made his professional regular season debut in a loss against the San Francisco 49ers. A few weeks later, he made his first career solo tackle in a loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Later, in early 2012, Sherman notched a season-high six solo tackles, a pass deflection, and an interception. He finished his rookie season with 55 combined tackles, 14 pass deflections, and four interceptions in 16 games. Greater success came the next season, when Sherman notched his first career touchdown during a 58-0 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Moreover, he started all 16 games for the season, and made 64 combined tackles and a career-high 24 pass deflections. Finishing second in the NFC West, the Seahawks progressed to a playoff berth, ultimately falling to the Atlanta Falcons.

Sherman's most successful season yet came in 2013-14, when he was voted to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career, and to the NFL All-Pro First Team for the second consecutive season. That season, the Seahawks had the top-ranked defense, and finished first in the NFC West. The team then made it to the NFC Championship, defeating the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks finished the season by winning Super Bowl XLVIII against the Denver Broncos; with a score of 43-8, it was one of the largest margins of victory in Super Bowl history.

After spending a day at the King County Correctional Facility, a judge ordered Sherman released on his own recognizance.
