At age 29, Marshawn Lynch announced his retirement through a tweet during Super Bowl 50 in 2016. Known for his powerful running style, he had quickly risen to become one of the most feared and beloved running backs in NFL history. Though briefly stepping away from football, Lynch returned to play for the Oakland Raiders in 2017 and later rejoined the Seahawks in 2019 for a short stint.
Lynch developed a reputation for his reluctance to engage with the media. During the 2013 season, he notably refused to answer reporters’ questions and was fined by the NFL, which only amplified his enigmatic public persona. His silence at press events, recurring answers like “I’m just here so I won’t get fined,” and disregard for traditional media relations became defining elements of his career.
Lynch is known for his love of gold jewelry, a style he cultivated during high school and continued throughout his career. His net worth is estimated to be around $30 million, with reports indicating an annual salary of approximately $7 million during his playing years. In a personal legal matter, Lynch pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor related to a 2008 hit-and-run case in Buffalo, resulting in the revocation of his driver’s license.
