Just two days after turning 33-years-old, news broke that Marshawn Lynch was retiring from the NFL.
Lynch spent the past two seasons with his hometown team—the Oakland Raiders—although the team plans to vacate his hometown in 2020. In his first year in the silver and black, Lynch started 15 games and ran for 891 yards and 7 touchdowns. Most notably, Lynch finished the regular season by eclipsing 10,000 career rushing yards—the 31st player in NFL history to do so. 2018 was less stellar for Lynch, who rushed for fewer than 400 yards in 6 games before a season-ending groin injury.
