If there’s one thing NFL running back is known for, other than blowing through defenders so hard , it’s his affinity for his favorite candy.
Lynch’s love affair with Skittles has turned into a sponsorship deal with the company. But with Lynch being, well, Beast Mode, there was never any way his work with the company would ever be allowed to be described as routine.
Before Super Bowl LI last year, played in Houston, Texas, Lynch traveled to Houston, Scotland on behalf of the company, pedaling to the tunes of bagpipes, touring castles, playing with swords and, of course, passing out Skittles.
Lynch was at it again in a video released Tuesday, touring a senior living community in a golf cart to pass out Skittles’ new “Sweet Heat” samples.
The Oakland Raiders running back goes power-walking with a group of women — “Y’all said y’all was over 55, but y’all acting like y’all 15,” he tells them — learns how to play pickle ball, and absorbs some good old-fashioned trash talk in the process.
Spicy Skittles may not be your thing — a hard pass for me — but it’s hard not to enjoy watching Beast Mode do his thing. Check it out:
Skittles sent Marshawn Lynch to test their new "Sweet Heat" flavor…at a retirement community.
