    Marshawn Lynch’s NFL Career

    Lynch’s NFL career was a great one. Lynch was a five-time Pro Bowler, made one appearance as a first-team All-Pro, and was named to the Hall of Fame All-2010s Team. He ran for 10,413 yards, had 94 total touchdowns, and over 2,000 receiving yards. Most known for his time with the Seattle Seahawks, Lynch won a Super Bowl and heartbreakingly lost another.

    The debate will rage on whether the Seahawks should have given Lynch the ball on the one-yard line at the end of Super Bowl. If they did, Lynch could potentially be a two-time Super Bowl champ and have one of the most memorable moments of his career. He was one of the hardest running backs to bring down in the league due to his violent running style.

    His running style was trademarked after his signature “Beastquake” run against the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Wild Card round in 2011. He broke numerous tackles for a long touchdown run with none more notable than a vicious stiff arm on Saints safety Tracy Porter. Porter flew multiple yards before he hit the ground.

    Lynch had a great career in the NFL and accomplished plenty. He is still in the limelight of the media even after playing.

    Lynch’s New Opportunity and Transition to Acting

    Lynch has always been an entertaining personality. From his antics at the University of California driving around the injury cart, his Skittles obsession, and his hilarious interviews, Lynch has been an entertainer from day one. It is no surprise he made the transition to the entertainment industry after he hung up the cleats.

    Lynch has been on the Thursday Night Football panel breaking down the games after his retirement. He puts his personality to good use on the panel.

    The former RB has appeared in some TV shows as well. He was in Murderville for an episode, a comedic murder mystery show that combines scripted elements with off-script improvisation. While Lynch did well in this appearance, his new opportunity will be his biggest on the screen.

    Euphoria is one of the most successful shows on HBO. The cast contains many award-winning actors. Zendaya has won Emmys and Golden Globes, while Sweeney received recognition for her contribution to the show. The show is responsible for many of its actors’ recognitions.

     

    Lynch will be quite the character to add to such a dynamic cast of actors. The different possibilities for him are quite numerous and if his past is any indication of his character, he will likely bring a great sense of humor to the already great show.
