Marshawn Lynch, one of the most powerful and dominant running backs in NFL history, has decided to retire… or so it seems?
After spending time in Seattle and winning a championship alongside star quarterback Russell Wilson, Lynch decided to return home to Oakland and finish his career with the Raiders. As time went on, the Raiders had entered the rebuilding stage of their dynasty.
The team got a new coach Jon Gruden, also known as the quarterback whisperer, has a great offensive mind and is looking to turn things around in Oakland.
Lynch has always been known for big power runs, as well as some of the most impressive playoff runs that we’ve ever seen in pro football. Sadly enough, Gruden looks to go in a new direction for the team and he’s looking for a running back in the Draft.

Lynch also made an appearance on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher earlier this year.
