Top 25 NFL mustaches of all time
By John Buhler
22. Marshawn Lynch
Recently un-retired running back of the Oakland Raiders in Marshawn Lynch is about probably a lot of things, but really these three in particular: 1.) ’bout that action, boss. 2.) Skittles, duh 3.) an underrated mustache for a slightly overrated running back.
Lynch usually rocks a soul patch and some stuff on the chin in addition to his epic mustache. It doesn’t quite connect under the nose, but that’s okay. He’s probably the coolest person in Oakland with a ‘stache since Rollie Fingers. Like a good mustache, Lynch’s literally grows as it grows on you. A clean-shaven Lynch is one weren’t just not that in to.
In addition to it clearly helping him be one of the most angry runners of his generation, Lynch’s familiar facial hair has given him the confidence to pretty much chance the world since 2013. Since winning that first Super Bowl with the Seahawks, Lynch has done stuff like tackle teenagers in football camp, ghost ride with camels in Egypt and pop wheelies on a bike in England.
It’s an underrated part of growing overrated facial hair on one’s face. Does it itch? Yes, but it’s worth the confidence booster. People will be all like are you for real and you’re all like yeah I’m for real. Have you ever lived off Skittles for a whole football season whilst riding camels? No, and that’s why Lynch is better than you. He has the mustache to prove it.
