Marshawn Terrell Lynch (born April 22, 1986), also nicknamed Beast
Mode, is an American football running back who is a free agent. He was
drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft
after playing college football at the University of California,
Berkeley, where he became the school's second all-time career
rusher.After three seasons with the Bills, Lynch was traded to the
Seattle Seahawks mid-way through the 2010 season. With Seattle, he led
the league in rushing touchdowns twice, made four Pro Bowls and won
Super Bowl XLVIII against the Denver Broncos. After initially retiring
after the 2015 season, Lynch applied for reinstatement and was traded
to the Oakland Raiders in April 2017, with whom he played two seasons
before effectively retiring again, despite not filing retirement
paperwork with the league. In December 2019, Lynch came out of
retirement a second time to join the Seattle Seahawks for a second
stint with a contract only for the remaining week of the season and
the postseason. Lynch earned the nickname "Beast Mode" for his
powerful running style and consistent ability to run over defenders
and break tackles.Lynch grew up in Oakland, California, with three
older siblings. He was raised by his mother Delisa, who once held a
200-meter track record at Oakland Technical High School, the school
that Marshawn later attended. Lynch started playing youth football in
Oakland at a young age.
