Marshawn Lynch has all the time been very outspoken relating to his NFL profession. However, in a recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast, Lynch did not have a ton to mention referring to former teammate Russell Wilson.
While describing their relationship as teammates, Lynch admitted that Wilson was “just a quarterback” to him.
“I wouldn’t be the right person to speak on their relationship because I didn’t f–k with them,” Lynch mentioned. “… I didn’t f–k with Pete (Carroll), and then, I mean, Russ was just a quarterback for me.”
When it involves the off-the-field relationship between Lynch and Wilson, Lynch said he is aware of that bringing it up reveals the recollections of Wilson being intercepted on the objective line in Super Bowl XLIX. That notorious choice ended up costing the Seattle Seahawks a Super Bowl as New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler picked off Wilson after he jumped the cross on the objective line.
Lynch additionally alluded to the truth that he and Wilson by no means had a shut relationship.
“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,” Lynch added. “But as far as anything else… No, there’s no, you can’t pick up the phone and call ol’ boy or nothing.”
It seems that Lynch does not harbor any ill-will against Wilson, and he respects what he delivered to the desk as an NFL quarterback. However, the 2 obviously by no means hung out in combination clear of the gridiron.
