It's no secret Marshawn Lynch is the catalyst behind the Seahawks offensive success.

From 2011 to 2014, Lynch has totaled an average of 1,339 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns per year.

Seahawks running back coach Sherman Smith only had high praise for Beast Mode when appearing on the Danny, Dave and Moore show on 710 ESPN Seattle.

"Marshawn is special," Smith said, via Field Gulls. "I've coached Eddie George, and I say that Eddie is the best player I've ever coached, but Marshawn is the most talented player I've ever coached ... He's really good, he's special. To have him really helps our run game."
