INDIANAPOLIS - John Lynch didn’t become an NFL executive until about four weeks ago.
John Schneider has been the Seahawks general manager since 2010 and has spent 20 seasons in an NFL front office.
Despite their vast gaps in experience, however, Schneider was learning from the 49ers new general manager years ago. Today at the NFL combine, Schneider said he mined Lynch for information about the safety position in 2012. Their meeting came before the Seahawks played the Bills in Toronto, a game Lynch covered as a FOX analyst.
Lynch, a former NFL safety, made nine Pro Bowls in his 15-year career and is a four-time Hall of Fame finalist.
