Great write up by John Boyle at .com on Marshawn Lynch, his Family First Foundation and what it means to the people of Oakland. It's a long write up but a great read.

"At one point Lynch is delivered some chicken wings on the field and he stuffs a few extras in his socks. Yes, you read that right, for a few minutes this millionaire, Pro-Bowl running back was coaching football on a warm July afternoon with chicken wings in his socks, which he later removed and ate."

Old habits die hard. He probably ate everything that came his way as a kid and stuffed what else he could in his pockets, socks, underwear. I spent part of my childhood growing up hungry, and when you ate at someone else's house, you wait until everyone's done then eat everything left on the table and their plates. Nothing went in the garbage.

For all the talk about his personality, his lack of media time, and his rather rough attempt at a biopic, this article shows us who Lynch really is, and that is someone who truly cares about giving back to his community. It's so much more than a charity or something to make himself feel good. You can tell that he truly wants to make a difference in these young lives. It speaks volumes about his true character. Much more than we will usually ever hear
