Ranking the top 10 Seattle Seahawks running backs of all time
4. Marshawn Lynch, 2010-15, 2019
“Beast Mode” was selected 12th overall by the Buffalo Bills in 2007. His career with Seattle began after a trade during the 2010 season, the last year of his rookie contract. Lynch went on to earn four Pro Bowl selections, a first-team All-Pro selection and a second-team All-Pro selection with the Seahawks, including two seasons in which he led the league in rushing touchdowns.
Lynch turned it up a notch come playoff time. His most memorable moment of his career came during the 2011 wild-card round where he broke several tackles en route to a 67-yard rushing touchdown to seal the victory over the New Orleans Saints. He made two Super Bowl appearances and was integral to the 2014 Super Bowl victory. Lynch played just seven games in 2015 due to injury and left Seattle in the offseason. He returned to the Seahawks in 2019 but had just 12 carries before hanging up his cleats for good.
11 years ago today, Marshawn Lynch simply wouldn’t go down.
