Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch leaves behind complicated legacy

On the Friday before the Seattle Seahawks’ divisional-round playoff game against the Carolina Panthers, head coach Pete Carroll was asked if he knew what to expect from Marshawn Lynch in his return to action.

"Have you been around here very long with Marshawn and all of that?" Carroll asked the reporter. "Not always do we know. He’s somewhat unpredictable in certain ways, but he’s really pumped to play football and play with his team."

On Sunday night, with the football world focused on the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 50, Lynch offered one tweet with no words to announce his retirement after nine years in the NFL.
