Classic Tailback - Marshawn Lynch California Highlights

A compilation of some of Marshawn Lynch's highlights at the University of California at Berkley. I could fill this description with my usual superlatives about a players running style. But I won't. I'll just say that Marshawn Lynch was definitely called BEAST MODE for a reason.
The games I used to take the clips from can be found on Stephen Barnett's youtube channel (and there were a few other channels I used as well that you can find if you look around): / sbbarnet. .

[@Riles3152]

It was actually miraculous that he was able to have a 12 year pro career as a RB with THAT style of running. And that's after a 3 year college career with basically the same style. Beast mode was different.

[@rafeeqturner1458]

The most impressive thing I noticed, after his big run plays, there's no showboating and worthless posing, he hands the ref the ball and sets the next play.

[@BigSwo2909]

Every single Lynch carry was a measuring stick of your manhood if you were a defender. He epitomizes the saying Walter Payton would use “Don’t die easy!” My god Lynch was all time tough.

[@nohmadinc]

Legendary comment!

[@chriswillis7315]

Size, agility, speed, vision. All around great back . Top 10 for me

[@ibe310]

THE MIKE TYSON OF RUNNING BACKS

[@sammystate21]

Udub season ticket holder, nobody made me worry like this guy. Reggie Bush was right up there with em, but Marshawn had legend written all over him. Can't imagine how I felt when Seattle picked em up. Hardest guy i've ever seen to tackle in my life

[@jonathanpeterson1984]

This is a very different running style than I’m used to seeing from him, he definitely bulked up in the NFL. He’s got a side step here that he wouldn’t bother with in the NFL, he’d just run into them as hard as possible😂💪

[@mmcneil777]

He did bulk up.

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

He has more explosive speed here, but contrary to popular belief, he did a ton of subtle side steps in the NFL. It was perhaps his signature move. Defenders just couldn’t square him up. He’s side step just enough and then power through arm tackles and either slip away or drag guys for a few extra yards. Of course he always had a mean stiff arm, too!

[@Ginga]

He ran just like this throughout this career. He bulked up and lost agility later in his Seattle tenure but he was shifty with the Bills and first couple Seahawks seasons.

[@doctorbnasty1859]

i swear marshawn has some of the best balance of all time. Another great video man, best football series on youtube

[@PockyCandy]

Yeah, his balance set him apart from 99% of the runningbacks that he competed against. He always stayed on his feet long enough to gain positive yardage, even when the defense got to him in the backfield.

[@Jordan-Ramses]

He ran so hard on every play. He just hated being tackled. Its just a mentality that a lot of people don't have.

[@AgressivePickle]

It’s because he keeps his legs wide, spread apart when he runs. More power, like squatting weights.

[@luckgood4789]

Using him on ncaa was damn near cheating 🤣

[@thefriendlyislingtonian8420]

You know you're a great RB when you're mainly tackled from behind or on the blind side. Quality!!

[@robertjirmnson9277]

Complete back with speed, power and great balance.

[@fostermckenzie7859]

best HB of this era

[@btatejr21]

Adrian Peterson easily

[@mixumup1]

You might have noticed the power and stiffarms but every single play someone got shook or cut on... Lynch still got jukes

[@st_mute3951]

Oh Mr Candy where have you been all my life. Thanks for these awesome uploads.

[@PockyCandy]

I'm kind of surprised that youtube has been around for over a decade and literally nobody else has had the idea to make videos of old tailbacks like I have. It's not too difficult to find the footage (for some players, others are impossible to find footage of. cough, Ladainian Tomlinson, cough)

[@schloergrape5191]

+PockyCandy what's a tailback?

[@PockyCandy]

Ravi Basra It's another term for Halfback.

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

10:00 Watching a Marshawn Lynch 2-yard run is the most entertaining form of football.

[@TrestanSKYWALKR]

At one point Jeff Tedford had Lynch and Rogers on the same team. At another point her has Lynch, Justin Forsett and Desean Jackson. At still another point her had Jackson, Forsett and Jahvid Best along with a long list of other pros who have had or are still having good NFL careers. Tedford was a great recruiter but with all that talent, he couldn’t have been the best X’s and O’s guy.

did Marshawn play with Aaron Rogers at Cal??

[@manman3792]

Yes, marshawn true freshmen year, Aaron Rogers was a senior

[@ibe310]

HE IS JUST DIFFERENT

[@vihockeyguy1]

talk about a back that always falls forward

[@PockyCandy]

Yeah, he rarely, if ever, was pushed backwards. This is somewhat off-topic, but Trent Richardson is basically Marshawn Lynch's clone physically, but he lacks BEAST MODE's vision and acceleration. That's what made Lynch special.

[@markprince3447]

+PockyCandy did you say he lacks the vision because he's legally blind 💀💀💀💀

[@Cashman93]

PockyCandy Trent Richardson was nothing like Lynch,not his style not his physical traits, the only think close was the hair.

[@AgressivePickle]

[@Kennyarnold16]

marshawn and Desean Jackson played on the same team!

[@hotlegshoolihan1779]

[@scrapzjones2328]

Cut from the same cloth as walter payton. Just a natural and raw runner with crazy finishing abilities.

[@hotlegshoolihan1779]

Ive seen 2 running backs in the last 15 years who while still in college. I said will be in the NFL HOF some day. Lynch is the first one and you will have to check back in 2030 for the 2nd one. He has not played a down yet. Its AJ Dillon drafted last month by Green Bay.

[@Chiefland7]

Yeah you lost me with the AJ Dillon. I saw him play in person in college. Hes big and stronf but id never think he'd be a hall of famer. He'd definitely prove me wrong if that happened. Hes no where near on lynches level. Hes easy to stop once you get him. Hes just a straight ahead big runner. No wiggle or nothing

[@CPAClass2010]

20min and it was still missing alot of beasty runs, sheesh

[@PockyCandy]

True, but that's all of the game footage that I could find. So sadly, there's going to be lots of beastmode runs that I couldn't include.

[@elhaynie1]

If Keith Jackson called your game bro you won

[@JesusIsaFlatEarther]

I was pretty good in H.S. or so I thought until we played against a guy as strong a runner as Lynch. If we did catch him, we just couldn't tackle him.

[@bbjfam8248]

Exactly!! Lynch was a MONSTER IN college

[@erbgorre]

that play at 10:05 shouldve been the opening scene of a new game show back then called "so you think you can tackle beast mode?" that goes down as a 2 yard run in the statistics but it seems like the entire defense had a chance to tackle him in the backfield there lol. some of them twice -.-

Has anyone noticed that his teammates almost NEVER help him up after he had been tackled. I watched this video and could count on one hand the number of times he was helped up.
