Marshawn Lynch created quite a stir during Super Bowl media week, at one point playing Mortal Kombat with Conan O'Brien. Now he's parlayed his love of video games into a lucrative opportunity.
Lynch, also an avid "Call of Duty" fan, will feature in the franchise's latest game: "Call of Duty: Black Ops III." The Seattle Seahawks running back donned the cover of ESPN The Magazine's eSports edition to promote the game - in full gear.

Considered a recluse by many due to his aversion to press conferences, this high-profile move may be a surprise to many.
However, in the past year, Lynch appeared in advertisements for Skittles, made a hilarious cameo on FX's "The League," and trademarked his famous catchphrase: "I'm just here so I won't get fined."
