Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson takes veiled shot at Richard Sherman

Ever since Richard Sherman pronounced himself the best cornerback in the game at the end of the NFC championship, he's been the talk of the NFL. However, it would appear at least one other corner may not agree with Sherman's assessment.

While not mentioning Sherman by name, Peterson's tweet does seem to be directed at the Seahawks left corner.  Seattle tends not to move their cornerbacks around for matchup purposes, instead keeping them in the same relative areas.

Both players were taken in the 2011 draft, with Peterson going fifth overall and Sherman being taken 149 picks later in the fifth round.  In the three years since Sherman leads the league with 20 interceptions (including an NFL-best eight this season) while Peterson has 12 in the same time frame.
