Sherman was referencing his arrest in July that led to five misdemeanor charges.

"I’ve got a decade of character and tape to be judged off of. If you’re judging me off of a momentary lapse, I’m probably not the player for you either way," Sherman said.

According to the Mercury News, Sherman was arrested July 14 after he allegedly attempted to break into his in-laws’ home after he was in a car accident in a highway construction zone.
