Marshawn Lynch may not have been part of an NFL roster this season, but he continues to provide quality entertainment for the fans off the field. The 34-year-old veteran participated in the Madden NFL 21 video game exhibition that replaced the traditional Pro Bowl festivities due to concerns for the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lynch jumped for joy and broke his gaming chair in the process of celebrating after he notched an interception off Snoop Dogg for his NFC squad in the fourth quarter of the contest.

The free-agent running back teamed up with Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams, and NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace on the NFC side.
Meanwhile, Snoop joined forces with Houston Texans gunslinger Deshaun Watson, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry, and former NFL wideout Keyshawn Johnson to represent the AFC. Lynch's team eventually snagged a 32-12 victory in the virtual match, with Kyler Murray being hailed as the game's MVP.
Lynch played with the Seahawks last season and only appeared in a single game in which he tallied 34 rushing yards on 12 carries and a touchdown. He could very well be in retirement mode after failing to sign with a team during the recent offseason. He even recently took part in a hockey tryout.
However, the veteran running back bared in an interview back in December that a number of teams were willing to acquire his services midway through the 2020 NFL season. Lynch also expressed his desires to come back in the near future and sign with a contender, but no deal has come to fruition.
If his career is indeed over, Marshawn Lynch certainly enjoyed his time in the NFL. He went to five Pro Bowls and won a Super Bowl with Seattle.
