Marshawn Lynch isn’t piling on Russell Wilson like his former Seahawks teammates.
For the past month, Richard Sherman and others former Seahawks players have taken shots at Wilson for how things ended in Seattle.
"He was not held to the same accountability as the rest of us"

Sherman most recently blasted Wilson for not running the ball on 4th and 1 in the Broncos’ last loss.

Lynch was the latest guest of the Richard Sherman podcast, and he refused to criticize Wilson but instead wanted to reach out to send words of encouragement to his former teammate.
“The backlash that bro just got, I know he one of them heady guys, I just want to tap in with him and make sure that dog is solid tho, cause man at the end of the day, I understand what this football sh– is but I want to make sure dog is straight in his mind and don’t let that overshadow that he’s a Superbowl quarterback, you got a beautiful family.”
Sherman really teased this like Marshawn was gonna come on here and blast Russ. pic.twitter.com/O3XkDylT6C

I really respect Marshawn Lynch for not piling up on Russell Wilson like every else has been doing this season. He could have easily took some shots at him but he kept it respectful. https://t.co/IVlNlJVznj
