RENTON, Wash. (AP) — For all the hype and attention that came with Marshawn Lynch’s return to the Seattle Seahawks, he wasn’t the running back that left the strongest impression.
Don’t believe it? Listen to Lynch himself.
“You’re inspiring me,” Lynch was caught saying to Seattle rookie running back Travis Homer on the sideline of last Sunday’s regular-season finale against San Francisco.
If there was a bright spot to come out of Seattle’s loss to San Francisco in Week 17, it was the discovery of yet another late-round draft pick showing potential as a ball carrier in Seattle’s backfield.
