Marshawn Lynch may want absolutely nothing to do with journalists or interviewers, but he has made it known in the past that he is a video game lover. This fact is made abundantly clear by his involvement in Call Of Duty Black Ops 3, the latest in the yearly Call Of Duty franchise which is due our later this year.

One of the NFL's top running backs and most popular athletes (at least on the internet anyway), Marshawn Lynch has offered his services for a motion capture session and will allow his likeness to be used as one of the bad guys, as ESPN explained:
In the year 2065, cybernetic advancements give rise to augmented human soldiers, a new breed of badass charged with preserving our way of life. Their mission leads them to a seedy bar in Singapore, where they encounter an underworld boss and his elite squad of mercenaries. Among them is a 5-foot-11, 215-pound battering ram of a man who's exactly like the world's most ferocious running back circa 2015: the Seahawks' Marshawn Lynch.
This is fantastic news for gamers who hate the Seahawks, as they now get the chance to shoot Marshawn Lynch in the face.
Speaking about his role in the new game, Marshawn Lynch expressed his happiness at being involved:
I just think the whole aspect of the game is... Beastmode. I done been to the Superbowl, I done been in movies, I even done been in video games, but to have your own character in a game like this is unique.
We are now looking forward to Call of Duty Black Ops 3 a lot more than we were before we found out that Beastmode would be standing in the way of us and the pursuit of justice.
