Steelers Running Back's Provoked By Marshawn Lynch

What made this performance even more remarkable was the presence of Marshawn Lynch, a close friend and mentor to Harris. Lynch, an iconic figure in the NFL, was in attendance, and his impact on the game was palpable. For Harris, having Lynch in the stands was a source of motivation and inspiration.

"It's always good to see Marshawn. Pretty much the guys that are in my circle, they were all there at the game. This is a place that's obviously close to home, so a lot of guys were able to make it."

Lynch's presence wasn't limited to just Harris. He also took a keen interest in Warren, a hard-hitting undrafted free agent who has been making waves with the Steelers in 2023.

"Shoot, I was starstruck," Warren admitted. "I watched him growing up. I was like, 'Is that Marshawn Lynch?'"

Lynch's appearance at the game had a profound and positive impact on the Steelers' running back duo. He may have indirectly, yet undeniably, ignited a fire within them. Dan Moore Jr., an offensive lineman for the Steelers, noticed the transformation in their play and would agree.

"He ran like I've never seen him run before," Moore exclaimed. "I saw him stiff-arm a d-lineman. That was crazy. You get runs like that, he feeds off of it."

During the game against the Seahawks, Harris and Warren ran with a purpose, their determination fueled by the presence of their childhood idol, Lynch. One play, in particular, echoed Lynch's legendary style.
