Whatever beginnings you come from just understand that your circumstances don’t dictate your future. Your circumstances don’t control your limits. You’re limitless, you’re a limitless person, you’re limitless by your faith, your abilities, your trust in yourself, your hard work, you can do as much as you want to do. If you go to school and get good grades and work as hard as you can, if you don’t have the materials, the school books, the things like that, people can help you with that. There will always be people out there that want to help kids like that, and I’m trying to help as many as I can. But to not go out there and work as hard as you can and give yourself the best possible chance to be successful you’re doing yourself a disservice. That’s really what I want the kids to know.
There’s a lot more to Richard Sherman than his end-of-game, adrenaline fueled rant.

Google and read the story about when he visited his former high school weight room in Compton, CA.
You are right, he is an entertainer, he understands what he is doing out there, and while he will make a mistake, in the eyes of some, from time to time, he is a person that will help a lot more than he will hurt.
