Marshawn Lynch, RB, Oakland Raiders

Seeing Marshawn Lynch in silver and black isn’t going to get any easier to look at.

Lynch, of course, is known around the league as ‘Beast Mode’ and for good reason. After failing to live up to the expectations of a first round pick in Buffalo, he was traded to the Seahawks where he became a superstar.

He helped the Seahawks to a championship in the 2013 season and was one of the NFL’s best running backs as recently as 2014. Injuries played a major role in his dropoff in play two years ago, and a year away from football helped him gain some perspective.

He wanted to play for his hometown Raiders, and when given the opportunity, he took it. Before the Raiders make their move to Las Vegas, Lynch will get a chance to help them win a division title and perhaps more.

We shall see.
