Before Richard Sherman and 49ers Jed York could start growing their newfound relationship as owner and player, some social media formalities needed to be taken care of.
As mentioned in NBC Sports Pro Football Talk, York mentioned to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area that he and Sherman still weren’t exactly BFFs until recent.
“We had to unblock each other on Twitter,”, said York.
He wouldn’t disclose what the reasoning for each side blocking each other was. However, he spoke on antics like that make him excited to have Sherman there as a 49er now.
“There’s just a level of competition and that competitive spirit,” York said. “I’m happy to be fighting alongside him. But there was definitely a rivalry.
