Really, though, Lynch has spent the past several years remaking himself as significantly off the field as he has in a football uniform. From his dogged devotion to charitable causes close to his heart to his growing collection of incongruous celebrity friends such as Newsom, Lynch is not the Beast you probably think he is, even though he most definitely plays one on TV.
"The man's empathetic," said Newsom, a native San Franciscan and diehard Niners fan who plans to spend time with Lynch after arriving in New York later this week, and who will be at MetLife Stadium on Super Sunday to cheer him on against the Denver Broncos. "Not long after Sunday's (NFC title) game, he called me from his house and said, 'Sorry, man. I hate to do that to your team.' I'm thinking, 'Hey, Marshawn's a politician!' But really, that sums him up -- even in that moment, he wasn't celebrating or boasting or rubbing it in. He showed compassion, which is the norm for him.
