Former Seahawks Star Marshawn Lynch Finds a New Passion in Video Games
Marshawn Lynch, the former Seattle Seahawks star, has revealed that his current passion lies in the world of video games rather than football. As the 10th anniversary of the Seahawks' Super Bowl win approaches, Lynch admits he is not a sports fan and has no interest in attending Super Bowl LVIII.
Finding Joy in Gaming
Lynch, who now resides in Las Vegas, has been immersing himself in his favorite pastime of playing video games, spending about two days a week on his gaming sessions. He expresses his love for gaming, stating that it has been a lifelong passion for him. His current obsession is the game Skull and Bones, where players take on the role of a pirate captain and engage in epic battles on the high seas.
Inspiration from Pirates
It seems that Lynch's fascination with pirates began after his appearance in the 'N Yo' City' segment on Prime Video, where he dressed as a pirate and spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' mascot. Lynch credits the movie Pirates of the Caribbean for sparking his interest in these swashbuckling characters.
Gaming Triumphs and Appreciation for Graphics
Lynch's gaming skills have not gone unnoticed. He famously competed against former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and emerged victorious in a Mortal Kombat showdown. While playing Skull and Bones, Lynch also praises the game's stunning graphics and attention to detail.
A Love for Boats and a Familiar Quote
Aside from pirates, Lynch admits to having a fondness for boats. In a lighthearted moment, he exclaims "Boats 'N Hoes," a reference to the movie Step Brothers, starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Lynch admits that his knowledge of boats mainly comes from the comedic film.
Silence on Football
While Lynch openly discusses his interests in movies and video games, he remains tight-lipped when it comes to football and his former team. Despite being friendly and courteous, he completely ignores any questions about the Seahawks or the NFL.
A Unique and Genuine Personality
Despite his evasiveness regarding football, Lynch is known for his unique and genuine personality. Former Seahawks general manager John Schneider praises Lynch, describing him as both one-of-a-kind and authentic.
As Marshawn Lynch continues to dedicate his time to video games, it is clear that he has found his passion beyond the football field. His love for gaming, pirates, and boats showcases a different side of this former NFL star.
