Speaking of beast (mode)
Beast? Hmmm… hmmm… where have we heard that before? Beast… mode? Yes, Beast Mode, also known as Marshawn Lynch, former Bills running back. Lynch was known for his physical running style and dubbed himself that nickname during his career.
But we’re talking about Moss here, and you might’ve guessed it by now, but there’s some Moss-Beast Mode comparisons out there. First and foremost, he does it himself. Along with Cowboys running back Zeke Elliot, Moss said he models his game after Lynch.
“I watched a lot of Marshawn Lynch growing up. I like (Cowboys running back) Ezekiel Elliott — big fan of a lot of guys, but those two predominantly were the guys for me,” Moss told CBS Sports. “… I think you see a lot of Marshawn in the way I run and how I approach the game.”
Here’s Moss in his entirety with CBS Sports discussing his game at the combine, where talks about the comparisons:
