Beast Mode's Back in Business with the Seahawks
Quiz time.
When you use Marshawn Lynch and limited run in the same sentence, you're referring to:
- The one game + playoffs contract he just signed with Seattle,
- The one yard of unfinished business he didn't get in Super Bowl XLIX, or
- The apparel dude's gonna sell via his Beast Mode Productions because of this return.
Correct.
Just call the dude Nostradamus.
Who else saw the Seahawks -- third in the league in rushing with a stable of five RBs -- possibly having an opening late in the season because only one RB was still standing after Week 16?

Inside Marshawn Lynch’s secret workouts with his longtime coach @tareqazim, who basically beat the hell out of him for 2 weeks after a visit to #Seahawks HQ made #BeastMode believe this unlikely reunion could happen. https://t.co/nbG3QSICeB

What's more, Lynch never filed retirement papers with the league, so he was still just a free agent with no red tape other than a contract offer to accept for him to get back in the game.
Dude may be 33, but he's got fresh legs that haven't been hit all season.
This might bode well for adding to memories of past Beast Mode adventures:
Speaking of ...
Dude's here to right wrongs, like not trademarking his legendary Beast Quake run against the Saints in his first go-round:
Marshawn Lynch has filed a trademark for BEAST QUAKE.

The trademark filing was made on December 17th.
In the filing, Marshawn claims that he will sell BEAST QUAKE branded clothing and beverages.

Proof once more that CalBears can come outta school with a quality education and then make real life very real, for themselves and others.
When Lynch left the Seahawks, the team store kept selling his jerseys at full price because fans kept paying it. Now, they're clamoring for No 24s again, but apparently, no one gave the club's merchandising department a heads-up. They'd ultimately sold outta his stuff.
Clearly, Beast Mode wasn't running that part of the Seahawks operation.
Only five players remain who were Lynch's teammates with Seattle -- LBs KJ Wright and Bobby Wagner, WR Tyler Lockett, TE Luke Wilson, and QB Russell Wilson -- so dude's truly in a position this time around to be:
- the man to those who know him,
- the myth to those who don't, and
- the legend who's looking to add to it, coming outta nowhere to possibly get the call for that one last yard that he was denied back in Super Bowl XLIX.
Not to mention putting his Seahawk hustle back on the front burner.
