Marshawn Lynch made his surprising return to the NFL days before Seattle’s Week 17 game against the 49ers last month. On Sunday, his short season came to an end in Green Bay as the Seahawks lost to the Packers at Lambeau Field.
Lynch, who scored two touchdowns in the loss, might have just played his last NFL game, though we’ve learned the past few weeks to expect the unexpected from Beast Mode.
If Sunday was in fact his last game, he closed it out with a special moment in Green Bay’s locker room before leaving town.
Lynch and Aaron Rodgers played college football together at Cal and the running back went to see his former teammate to exchange jerseys:
Marshawn Lynch just walked into the #Packers locker room with his jersey. He gave fellow Cal alum Aaron Rodgers a big hug. Rodgers took his jersey from his locker and they just went down a hallway to presumably exchange and share some words.

In unique Marshawn Lynch fashion, the running back just entered the Packers’ locker room for a jersey exchange with Aaron Rodgers. They’re signing one another’s game uniforms.

Rodgers spoke highly of Lynch:
Aaron Rodgers says Marshawn Lynch is one of his best teammates of all time from his time at Cal. Credits him with incredible personality and charisma.

Beast Mode also took some time to talk to the media and offer some advice for younger players:
"Take care of y'all bread, so when y'all done, you can go ahead and take care of yourself."
