Marshawn Lynch Explains His Media Silence
Lynch made a statement to reporters on Thursday - the final day player press availability ahead of Super Bowl XLIX.
"I don't know what image you're trying to portray of me," Lynch opened in his 5 minute, 10 second session with the media. "But it doesn't matter what you all think, what you all say about me, because when I go home at night, the same people that I look in the face, my family that I love, that's all that really matters to me."
