Richard Sherman says Demayrius Thomas is a top 5 receiver

Richard Sherman never seems just kinda like someone - it's either love or hate.

Michael Crabtree - a sorry receiver. Demayrius Thomas? Not so much.

When talking with reporter on Sunday, Sherman had nothing but good things to say about the Broncos' wideout, calling him one of the best in the game:

"I definitely think he's top five. He put together the type of year and done everything in his power to put himself in that conversation. He's made big catches, he's got a lot of run after the catches, he turns some small plays into huge plays, and I think that he's a great receiver. He's a great competitor, and I'm sure it's going to be a fun night for both of us because we're both intense competitors and good players."

Of course Thomas was also as excited to line up against one of the best:

"He's a great player. I'd love to have that matchup to show what kind of player I am."

The matchup between these two players will be one of the best to watch come Sunday. It'll be interesting to see how the Broncos use Thomas in their offense in order to help get him from under the cover of Sherman. One things for sure, it'll be a physical battle all game long. I'm thinking good old Richard gets the best of DT on Sunday. But lucky for Peyton, he's got a million and one other weapons he can use to beat you.
