Golden Bear. Seattle Seahawk. Super Bowl Champion. Movie star?
Lynch often comes off as abrasive and ornery. And it fits the hardcore persona that makes him a beloved figure, especially in Seattle. But the four-time Pro Bowler says the media gets too caught up in that narrative.
He believes he's stereotyped for his dreadlocks and gold teeth and inner-city mannerisms, which explains why his mistakes get more attention than his good deeds. So Lynch is looking to put his story in context through this movie.
"Most people don't know how much he cares," said director Mario Bobino of Debonair Production, who is co-producing the film with Ramasses Head. "Marshawn is very human. He is passionate about family. He is passionate about Oakland, about Cal. He has a great desire to do good things for the youth of the community. That's the side of Marshawn people don't see."

— Cal Football (@CalFootball) May 15, 2014 - Your beloved CGB staff took part in some Q&As with ACME Packing Company about TE Richard Rodgers and Canal St. Chronicles about LB Khairi Fortt. We may not be too popular with those Canal St. Chronicles fans anymore...
- OC Tony Franklin gushed over Rodgers and his playmaking ability, ball-catching hands—the best Franklin has ever seen—and his potential to play QB. Franklin also discussed a hypothetical one more season for Rodgers, which would have included more traditional TE play and being a first-team All-American and a first-round pick.
- ESPN took an extensive look at Sonny Dykes's first year at Cal—why he struggled and how he intends to lead the program to a conference championship
