Richard Sherman Welcomes Healthy Baby Boy

After plenty of speculation about missing the Super Bowl to witness the birth of his first child, Richard Sherman and girlfriend Ashley Moss welcome a healthy baby boy this morning.

My son sure does know how to make an entrance! 2/5/15… Is it a coincidence or is he just that clever?! Either way I'm ecstatic

For those who do not get the joke, the Seahawks cornerback wears the number 25 and his son was just born on 2/5/15.

And according to Sports Illustrated writer Peter King, Sherman’s son is named Rayden.

Congrats to Richard Sherman and his girlfriend on the birth of son Rayden this morning.
