Marshawn Lynch reportedly began planning for a potential return to the Seattle Seahawks long before the two sides came to terms on a contract.
Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Lynch's personal coach, Tareq Azim, said the five-time Pro Bowler began working out "in secret a couple of weeks ago" after visiting the Seahawks facilities.
Azim noted Lynch "went 'hood' on preparation" and had 16 training sessions over eight days to get ready in case he was needed.
Lynch's agent announced on Monday night his client agreed to a deal with the Seahawks for the remainder of the season, per ESPN's Brady Henderson.
