Marshawn Lynch, nicknamed "Beast Mode" for his running after catching a pass, played 12 seasons in the NFL. Despite retiring, Lynch stood up for his former teammate Aaron Rodgers, who they played together for a single season at the University of California. Lynch was full of praise for Aaron Rodgers.

On the Pat McAfee show, Marshawn Lynch discussed the Jets' upcoming season and their chances of re-incorporating Aaron Rodgers back into the lineup. Sharing his thoughts, the five-time Pro Bowler stated, “I will always pull for Aaron Rodgers because I know the work ethic that he has. I know how smart he is, and I know how much he loves football. He’s really an OG out there who is continuing to do his thing. As long that dude is out there. I wouldn’t care if he would throw that b— from a wheelchair. As long as he got that arm, I am counting him in.”
Lynch supported his former teammate, during his ACL injury that sidelined him for the season. Lynch recalled their Cal days when A-Rod helped push Marshawn into the university's team. As Lynch waited for his first snaps, Rodgers took care of some upperclassmen. Their bond seemed to launch their career in football.
Lynch shared on Shannon Sharpe’s show Club Shay Shay, “As a freshman, you know it’s hard to play. And there was a running back on our team who rushed for, I think, 1,500 the year before and had 2,000 my freshman year.” Lynch may be referring to J.J Arrington, a former Super Bowl Champion who played for the Cardinals, Broncos, and Eagles, but his start was skewed by Rodgers.
When the running back coach approached to confront him about his time on the field, Rodgers stepped in, “Nah, Nah, that was me. No, No, I did the wrong thing.” Rodgers may be regaining Lynch's support this week, potentially reaching a significant milestone in his NFL career, similar to how he used to be backed by Lynch in his early days.
