Even while naked, Marshawn Lynch is about that action.

The Seahawks running back posed sans clothes for an ESPN Magazine photo shoot, and even when given the chance to talk about something unusual, he didn’t have much to say.

“I got to show some love for the fat backs,” Lynch said. “Don’t matter if we don’t get love, as long as I give mine. . . .

“Even though I get butt-a-- naked, I’m still gonna let my body do the talking for me. I’m cool with my body, I love my body. I wouldn’t trade it for no other body.”

Lynch also discussed how he learned to do backflips (by landing on his head), and said he had other athletic talents.

“Michael Phelps wouldn’t have been on the Wheaties box if I stuck with swimming,” he said. “I’ve been swimming since I was a little kid. I still swim. I’m the best. I am Olympic caliber right now, hell yeah.”

The idea of Beast Mode in the pool is an entertaining image, but it’s hard to imagine Lynch trading his Skittles for a healthy breakfast cereal.
