Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson have been through a lot together over the past nearly 20 years, and somehow, their friendship keeps finding its way back to Buffalo.
The two former NFL stars first became friends as teammates with the Buffalo Bills in 2007. Lynch was the team’s first-round draft pick that year and would go on to become a Seahawks star and later play for the Raiders, while Jackson went from an overlooked Division III running back to one of the most beloved players in Bills history. But somewhere along the way, the two became much more than teammates.
They became like brothers.
From Buffalo to Seattle and Back Again
@nflonprimeThe catwalk had Marshawn feeling like a Ninja Turtle ? Watch Lions vs. Bills on @primevideo | 6:30pm ET #nfl #marshawnlynch #nyocity
♬ original sound – NFL on Prime VideoLynch eventually left Buffalo for Seattle in 2010, but that wasn’t the end of the friendship. When Jackson signed with the Seahawks in 2015 after spending nine seasons with the Bills, he reunited with Lynch in Seattle. Jackson later recalled how Lynch helped him adjust to his new life, even giving him a car and helping him navigate his move across the country. Jackson described their relationship as being like brothers.
Now, nearly 20 years after they first met, the two are back together in Buffalo for an entirely different chapter.
The Bills are beginning a new era at their brand-new Highmark Stadium, and Lynch and Jackson got a firsthand look at the new home ahead of tonight’s Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions Thursday Night Football game.
But naturally, a Lynch and Jackson reunion was never going to feel like a quiet stadium tour.

Marshawn Lynch Has a Fear of Heights?
@bigbuffalosportsBeast mode in Buffalo. #buffalobills #beastmode #fyp #nfl #nfledits
♬ DON`T STOP – Slowed++ – GLXXMSTRIDERThe pair hilariously explored the new stadium for Lynch’s Amazon Prime series N Yo City, and the player known as “Beast Mode” star revealed something fans might not expect: He’s actually afraid of heights.
Watching Lynch navigate the stadium with Jackson adds an entirely different layer to the reunion. These aren’t two players simply revisiting the place where they once played. They’re two longtime friends who have watched their careers, cities and lives change while somehow maintaining the connection they formed as young teammates.
That’s what makes their return to Buffalo feel bigger than football.
The stadium may be new, but the friendship isn’t. Nearly two decades after Lynch and Jackson first met, they’ve gone from teammates in Buffalo to friends in Seattle and, now, back to Buffalo together again.
Tonight’s Detroit Lions vs. Buffalo Bills Thursday Night Football game will give fans plenty to talk about on the field. But Lynch and Jackson’s reunion is a reminder that sometimes the best part of sports is what stays with you long after the game is over.
