Veteran NFL cornerback Richard Sherman, who is currently a free agent, has released a statement following his arrest, earlier this week. Sherman says he's been dealing with "personal challenges" recently and emphasized the importance of mental health.

"I behaved in a manner I am not proud of," the NFL star said Friday. "I have been dealing with some personal challenges over the last several months, but that is not an excuse for how I acted. The importance of mental and emotional health is extremely real and I vow to get the help I need. I appreciate all of the people who have reached out in support of me and my family, including our community here in Seattle. I am grateful to have such an amazing wife, family and support system to lean on during this time."
