Marshawn Lynch

Lynch ran angry in the best way, and 'Beast Mode' isn't marketing fluff, it's a literal description of what defenders experienced trying to bring him down. The Beast Quake run, where he broke roughly nine tackles and the stadium shook, is the kind of highlight that defines a career. Off the field he turned media obligation into performance art with 'I'm just here so I won't get fined,' which somehow made him more beloved, not less. There's also the deep Oakland loyalty and his Fam 1st Family Foundation work. He's a folk hero who happens to have Hall of Fame-caliber tape.

Marshawn Lynch (born 1986) is an American former NFL running back from Oakland, California, who starred at the University of California, Berkeley. Nicknamed 'Beast Mode,' he was a five-time Pro Bowl selection best known for his powerful, punishing running style with the Seattle Seahawks, with whom he won Super Bowl XLVIII. His 'Beast Quake' run in the 2011 playoffs is among the most celebrated plays in league history, and he is equally famous for his reluctant, comedic relationship with the media.
