It’s clear that Justin Britt and Sheldon Richardson have a special relationship.
The former Missouri teammates were also teammates in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks last season before Richardson moved to the Minnesota Vikings. They faced off Monday night, and after Richardson suffered an injury, it was Britt who waited nearby to offer a gesture that he was concerned about his former teammate.
Richardson made three tackles against Seattle, including a tackle for a loss, and he’s had a solid season for the Seahawks. He’s had 3.5 sacks, 39 tackles, and 14 quarterback hits, according to Pro Football Reference.
The moment was another example that college ties often extend into the NFL, even if players move to different teams.
