Richard Sherman’s son wasn’t born on Super Bowl Sunday, but he sure cut it close.
Sherman’s girlfriend Ashley Moss gave birth to their son early Thursday morning.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Peter King, the couple named the newborn Rayden.
Serendipitously, it seems that Rayden picked his birthday with his dad, No. 25, in mind.
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
