Marshawn Lynch is back all right.
The 33-year-old running back, who officially agreed to re-sign with the Seattle Seahawks this week, had a brief media session on Tuesday to mark his return. In the session, Lynch offered season’s greetings, quoted Eddie Murphy, and walked off after just ten seconds. Take a look:

“Happy Holidays. Merry New Year. Y’all have a great day,” said Lynch. “It’s a great feeling to be back.”
Beast Mode obviously wins style points for the fire “Trading Places” reference.
But Lynch, who was previously with the Seahawks from 2010 to 2015 (including their Super Bowl XLVIII victory), should have plenty of impact beyond just one-liners. The team needs him in the wake of injuries to top running backs Chris Carson, CJ Prosise, and Rashad Penny, and Lynch is already training pretty intensely to prepare.
