Marshawn Lynch and Aaron Rodgers Shared an Amazing Meeting of the Minds After Packers-Seahawks
After the Seattle Seahawks' big playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, former college teammates Marshawn Lynch and Aaron Rodgers shared a brief moment that will make any football fan smile.
Lynch and Rodgers played together at the University of California, Berkeley before making their way to the NFL. After losing to his former teammate in the playoffs in what could be his final game as a professional, Lynch did something completely out of character: walked into the Packers' locker room and congratulated Rodgers.

Lynch and Rodgers walked down the hall for a brief conversation and even exchanged jerseys as a token of mutual respect.

Lynch has always been an outgoing character, but that's never prevented him from being a top-class teammate. Despite not having suited up alongside Rodgers for nearly 15 years, the Packers QB cited Beast Mode as one of the best teammates he'd had during his college career.

Two of the league's biggest personalities have had very different career trajectories, but it's always awesome to see their paths cross. The respect these two stars share for one another is unwavering.
