Seattle appears to have a trend where former legends return to be official credentialed photographers. The Seattle Mariners saw Ken Griffey Jr. do so, and now the Seattle Seahawks have Marshawn Lynch.
Lynch, otherwise known as "Beastmode," was seen on the sidelines of the Las Vegas Raiders vs Seahawks preseason game. Though he usually attends games as a guest, especially having played for both teams, he was there in a professional capacity.
Lynch also started to go viral for seemingly stiff-arming a Seahawks player who got too close to his camera.
In the video shared by SportsCenter, Lynch is holding his camera when running back George Holani nearly runs into the Seahawks legend. Lynch gives Holani a shove to ensure the safety of his camera.
Naturally, this led to plenty of fans responding to seeing Lynch back on Seahawks turf.
Lynch has seemingly been all over the place since he walked away from the NFL. From appearing in reality movies like "Bottoms" and "80 for Brady," to landing appearances in TV shows like "Lopez vs Lopez," and even hosting a podcast with California Governor Gavin Newsom, Lynch has been busy.
Now, it appears that he has taken on another potentially successful hobby.
Lynch played for the Seahawks from 2010 to 2015 and became an instant star. He was the rushing touchdown leader in 2014 and 2015, was named to four Pro Bowls, landed his lone All-Pro nod, and secured a Super Bowl championship with the team.
Nicknamed "Beastmode," his tough style of running was hard to contain. He was also infamously involved in a highly criticized play call to throw a touchdown in the endzone of Super Bowl XLIX, which resulted in an interception and game winner for the New England Patriots.
The NFL-loving world stated that Lynch should have been given the ball to punch it in the endzone. Lynch has since made fun of the moment in several pop culture references, such as on "The League."
Lynch remains a beloved member of the Seahawks and the Raiders. He joined Las Vegas in the 2017 season, after his time with Seattle.
Though there is no telling if Lynch remains a credentialed photographer in the NFL, but it was good to see him back on the sidelines.
