Marshawn Lynch Does Hundreds of Pushups and Situps Every Day at 6:24 AM

According to NFL Network’s Nate Burleson, Marshawn Lynch’s day begins with a workout at the same time every morning: 6:24.

Here’s the former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver on Good Morning Football:

"Yesterday I had lunch with a good friend of mine, Mitch [Grossbach], who actually runs his Beast Mode brand. So we’re just having a conversation about Marshawn Lynch, and he says Marshawn Lynch wakes up every morning at 6:24 a.m.—6:24 a.m.—and does a couple hundred pushups, a couple hundred situps and then gets back in the bed. Every single morning. So, for people who think he’s not in shape, this man has been doing it since he retired."

Burleson confirmed that the peculiar wake-up time is a nod to Lynch’s jersey number.

This anecdote will bring a smile to any Oakland Raiders fan’s face.

Last week, the Silver and Black brought Beast Mode, who was raised in Oakland and remains heavily involved in the community, out of retirement—first trading for him and then agreeing to an incentive-heavy two-year deal:
