More Than Just Football

After temporary retirement stints in 2016 and 2019, Lynch finished his career with 10,413 rushing yards and 85 TDs. Though reluctant in the media, he let his play speak for itself. To teammates, coaches, and fans, Lynch will always epitomize being in "Beast Mode" thanks to his larger-than-life style and personality.
