During Marshawn Lynch’s 12 NFL seasons he earned a reputation for his fearless style on the field, while remaining one of the league’s most reclusive figures off the field. Now the retired running back is lending his voice to try to help members of Black and Hispanic communities make more informed decisions about receiving COVID-19 vaccines. Lynch released a 30-minute interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci on his YouTube channel Friday, April 16, 2021, becoming the latest prominent athlete to sit down with him to discuss the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines as the U.S. continues to combat the pandemic.

The legend that is Beast Mode continues to grow.

The NFL has had plenty of characters throughout the years, but none have had the combination of sheer strength and talent like Marshawn Lynch. Lynch’s exploits on and off the field are totally legendary, from buying Fireball shots for an entire bar to his part in the most famous play in team history. That play now has an added note to it. Following his 67-yard Beast Quake run against the New Orleans Saints in the playoffs, Lynch went out of his way to thank his offensive linemen. According to former Seattle guard Tyler Polumbus, Lynch walked into their meeting room and dropped a giant wad of cash on the table and then walked out.

As for what they did with the money, Polumbus says they went to Vegas.

Makes sense.

Out of all the runs in the NFL, that was by far the angriest. The Seattle Seahawks entered the 2010 NFL Playoffs with the odds against them, they were a sub-.500 team and were matched up in the first round again the reigning Super Bowl Champion Saints. Yet, the Seahawks prevailed behind one of the most memorable runs in NFL history, the “Beast Quake”.
