Those people who think the Oakland Raiders are going to be getting the same Marshawn Lynch who was one of the NFL’s best running backs from 2011-2015 could be setting themselves up for a big letdown. In 2015, which was Lynch’s last season in the NFL prior to this year, he missed eight games due to an injury, and ran for only 3.8 yards per carry — the worst of his tenure in Seattle. He’s entering this season at 31 years old; the history of NFL running backs over the age of 30 is very depressing. If anyone thinks that he’ll be able to hold up for an entire year, given his age and his time off from the league, they’re not being realistic.
