Video: Russell Wilson Gives Handoff to Marshawn Lynch in Steelers' Warmups

Doric SamOct 13, 2024

Ahead of Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers veteran quarterback Russell Wilson reunited with an old friend for a fun moment.

Former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch, Wilson's teammate with the Seattle Seahawks, was in attendance at Allegiant Stadium and took a handoff from Wilson during warmups. He gave Wilson a dap and appeared to provide the signal-caller with some words of encouragement before letting him get back to his routine:

Of course, seeing Wilson hand the ball off to Lynch could conjure up painful memories for Seahawks fans who were hoping to see them do just that at the goal line in the waning moments of Super Bowl XLIX rather than the interception that Wilson threw that sealed a 28-24 victory for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

The cordial interaction between Wilson and Lynch also might surprise some, as Lynch previously revealed that the two of them didn't have a close relationship during their time together in Seattle.

"I respect Russell as a player and as a teammate. ... Anything that I say is gonna come off as malice or as if I'm a hater. ... I'll take Russell, and I'll put him right there at quarterback, and I'll rock with him, because I have done that. But as far as anything else... No, there's no, you can't pick up the phone and call ol' boy or nothing," Lynch said during an appearance on Club Shay Shay last year, also adding that he didn't even have Wilson's number.

Wilson is active for the first time this season on Sunday after recovering from a calf injury that he aggravated toward the end of training camp. Justin Fields will remain the starting quarterback for the Steelers, with the 35-year-old serving as the primary backup.
