Patrick Peterson is shrugging off the idea that some of his peers might get more attention and indicated that he feels he brings more value to his team.

The Arizona Cardinals cornerback said he wants to "do my talking between the white lines."

"I don't need to be boastful or brash. 'Oh, look at me,'" Peterson told USA Today Sports. "I'm all about the team. I don't want to take that focus away from the team. At the end of the day, I know I'm the best. I know I can get in the face of the receiver, and I mean much more to my team versus those guys to their team."

One player Peterson was comparing himself to was Richard Sherman, with whom he's traded barbs on Twitter.

After Sherman signed a contract extension, Peterson said he deserved just as much money from the Cardinals. Sherman tweeted, "never confuse potential with production." Peterson fired back, saying Sherman wasn't a lockdown cornerback because of the Seattle Seahawks' scheme.
