Richard Sherman expected to become a father in the next week

Richard Sherman has more on his mind than just the Super Bowl. 

The Seattle Seahawks cornerback and his girlfriend are expecting to welcome their son into the world sometime in the next week. 

Sherman isn't thinking about the possibility the baby could be born Sunday. Not yet, anyway.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there," Sherman said to ESPN. "We're not thinking about the possibility."

Sherman did reveal, though, that the addition to his family is added motivation for the game. 

"As a parent, you want to set a great example for them, so I guess, to a degree, a lot of things are riding on it."
