ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Searching for a snapshot of last season’s locker room dynamic when it came to Marshawn Lynch and the Oakland Raiders?
It was early in the season and the Raiders were prepping for a road trip with bags strewn about, and Lynch had the deeply religious Derek Carr’s ear as he dropped F-bombs and a series of other expletives. The Raiders' franchise quarterback, like a dutiful student, nodded to Beast Mode’s rhythmic cadence and took it in.
All while wearing a T-shirt that read “JESUS LOVES.”
The lessons imparted continued later in the season, with Lynch offering Carr and his five-year, $125 million contract some 401(k) advice.
