“Just Make Sure They Eat”: Marshawn Lynch on Growing Up Never Wanting to Be a Burden on His Mom

FULL EPISODE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xOSpeBVjuo

Mama Lynch worked two jobs, raised four kids, and somehow became the mom of the whole village, with everybody’s cousins and teammates piling into the Pathfinder. Marshawn talks about never wanting to be a burden on her, and the day a teacher told her he needed to be tested. He thought the testing room was a toy store. When they wanted to put him on medication, his mom’s answer was simple, and years later at Cal he thanked her for it.
