As a running back, Marshawn Lynch's on-field honors were not as plentiful as one might imagine:
In 2013 and 2014, he was the NFL rushing yardage leader for two consecutive years, a five-time Pro Bowl selectee, once on the All-America First Team, and once on the second team—that was all.
Because of this, according to the system's assessment, Lynch and McCoy were both rated 'A', not in the same league as Peterson.
However, in terms of popularity, fame, hype, and breaking into the mainstream, Lynch was undeniably one of the most prominent NFL players of the past decade, even more widely known than most quarterbacks, to the extent that it would not be an exaggeration to call him the "king of buzz". The reason lies in his style of play:
Beast Mode.
