Marshawn Lynch recently talked to NFL Gameday about his legacy and his belief that he might not enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame because of the media, and the relationship that he has with them:
“You know who votes for that, they don’t seem to see eye to eye with me – which is cool. And if I’m not, (expletive), I’ll still live.”
While it may be a little early to talk about the Pro Football Hall of Fame in regards to Lynch he is on a path that should put him in the conversation. With four Pro Bowls (and a likely fifth this year) and a First Team All Pro selection already in his resume he already has some serious credentials.
Statistically speaking he has over 8,000 Rushing Yards and is closing on 2,000 Receiving Yards. Last season he led the NFL in Rushing Touchdowns and is leading in that category currently. These are good numbers, and he adds to that, a Super Bowl Ring with the Seahawks last year and a touchdown in the big dance.
Realistically, Marshawn Lynch still has some stat padding to do as in this era, 10,000 Rushing Yards just doesn’t cut it, though four more above seasons should put him in the chase.
As for the media keeping him out, unlike other Halls of Fame there have not been as many perceived snubs as others. If Lynch earns a place in the Football Hall of Fame, and like we said, we think he is on the right path for it, hopefully his suspicions are not correct.
