It’s always a story when former Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is behind a microphone.
Speaking to the press in San Diego at a Holiday Bowl event, Lynch joked with reporters, including NBC San Diego sports anchor Darnay Tripp, about his “chicken” – a slang term for money that Lynch made famous after Seattle’s loss to the Packers in the NFC divisional round.
Lynch showed reporters his “chicken” all while rocking a “take care of yo chicken” shirt from his clothing line, Beast Mode Apparel.
Lynch trademarked the iconic phrase just after uttering it as a message to young NFL players, urging them to save money so they can enjoy retirement.
Lynch starred in the Holiday Bowl back in 2006, rushing for 111 yards and two touchdowns in Cal’s dominant 45-10 win over Texas A&M.
He was asked to recall his favorite memory from the contest, and in a rare moment of candidness with the media, Lynch shared how important it was for him to let his backup, former Seahawks running back Justin Forsett, come in and share in the glory alongside him.
Forsett rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown in the contest.
Lynch played in three games for the Seahawks in 2019, returning around Christmas-time and rushing for four touchdowns, including three in the playoffs.
It is unclear if he plans to continue his playing career, or if he will find his way back to Seattle, but for now we can enjoy his presence with the media, whenever it may occur.
