9. Marshawn Lynch: Looking and playing like a beast.
It tends to be more difficult, somehow, to disparage an athlete’s appearance when he’s truly great at what he does. Marshawn Lynch is a great running back. He has been among the most respected and, more to the point, feared runners in the NFL for nine solid seasons. Lynch has rushed for over 1,000 yards six times and led his Seahawks to two NFC Championships and one Super Bowl victory. His “Beast Mode” persona has earned a place in football lore as the definition of a tough runner who never gives up on a play.
All that duly noted, Marshawn will never be confused with Gale Sayers. Somehow, his head looks like someone crossed a bulldog with an asp and sewed some black yarn they bought at Big Lots on the back. And his nose is the shape of a traffic cone that was run over by a cement truck. Thank goodness, most of the time his visage is tucked nicely under a helmet.
