People are creatures of habit and love to live in the moment, but does Marshawn Lynch really compare to the greats of the NFL’s past.
Former NFL safety and NBC analyst, Rodney Harison, compared Beastmode to the great Jim Brown and Walter Peyton.
He kinda reminds me of a little bit of everyone. He kinda reminds me a little bit of Jim Brown … kinda Walter Payton, the way he kinda high steps, the physicality. … The sweet part about Marshawn is this is a time where running backs really start to wear down. He just now starts to get stronger, and that’s the amazing part about Marshawn. I think people really underestimate how this guy takes care of his body, and what he means to this team. His play is very infectious to the team.
Harrison had me thinking it was a comparison of the influence all three athletes had on society and for doing things their own way.
