Camryn Bynum may have left Minnesota with a frustrating loss. However, the Indianapolis Colts safety still gave NFL fans something to smile about after his Week 7 reunion with Harrison Smith. Following Indianapolis’ 16-10 defeat to the Vikings at US Bank Stadium, the former teammates struck an exaggerated, smoldering pose for a photograph that quickly made the rounds on social media. Bynum later explained the hilarious moment with a playful message on X.
“Harry taught me a million things about playing safety. I taught him how to hit the lightskin face 🎬😂,” Bynum wrote, poking fun at the expression that has become part of his online persona.
The photograph offered a glimpse into the close relationship the two defensive backs built during Bynum’s four seasons in Minnesota. Smith served as a mentor while Bynum developed into a dependable NFL safety. That's before signing a four-year, $60 million deal with Indianapolis ahead of the 2025 campaign. Seeing the usually stoic Smith join in on the joke made the reunion especially entertaining for fans of both teams.
