The Red Sox’ outfielder plans to use some of the Seahawks’ running backs methods
It only takes one person to get others to follow suit. The way Marshawn Lynch addresses the media has apparently gotten others inspired to do the same. Red Sox’ outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., believes in Lynch’s ideals and wants to treat things the same as Lynch does, so he can focus on the 2015 season.

Bradley speaking to WEEI, let it be known his focus will be all about himself this year. “I’m going to go all Marshawn Lynch this year,” the Red Sox outfielder said to WEEI.
Players are soon reporting to spring training to get ready for the upcoming season, and after a down year after having won the World Series, the Boston Red Sox are looking to bounce back and be in the AL East Divison running this year.
For that to happen, guys like Bradley Jr., have to improve. Bradley, only batted .198 in 2014 and didn’t qualify as league worst simply because he didn’t have the minimum at bats required to qualify.
Perhaps his inspirations he is drawing from Lynch can help him.
“I just focus on me. I have to do what I’€™ve got to do. I don’€™t even talk about it to anybody,” Bradley said to WEEI.com, “Action speaks louder than words, and that’€™s pretty much this whole year is going to be. I won’€™t have much to say. I’€™m just going to go out there and take care of business.”
Now, batting only .198, Bradley Jr. might not have to worry about reports swarming him with questions and he will have all the time in the world to focus.
Give credit to Bradley however for recognizing his play needs to improve and that he wants to focus on himself only. Athletes avoiding the media isn’t a bad thing and a lot of times they get flooded with unnecessary questions that aren’t relevant.
Bradley Jr., is ready for spring training and the new season. Just don’t expect to see him grabbing his crotch after he touches home after a home run.
