Richard Sherman welcomes former rival Trent Williams to San Francisco

_fCl_CyVk2o7
The 49ers came from out of nowhere to trade for Trent Williams and made smart picks throughout the 2020 NFL Draft.

After Seattle beat Washington in a playoff game seven years ago, Richard Sherman got in the face of Trent Williams -- and Williams reacted by punching Sherman’s face.

Now Sherman and Williams are teammates in San Francisco, and there are no hard feelings. Sherman posted a welcome message to Williams on Twitter, and jokingly added, “I’m gonna need a rematch.”

San Francisco owner Jed York wrote to Williams on Twitter, “You will love Richard Sherman as a teammate. Welcome to the Niners big fella!”

The 49ers love Sherman now, after hating him for years, and Williams will surely be the same.
