Could Marshawn Lynch be labeled President Beast Mode?
Someone claiming to be the Seahawks running back has filed to run for President of the United States in a hilarious and entertaining form.

"Lynch" wrote that his address is located in "the end zone holding deez nuts," a reference to the running back's trademarked crotch-grab celebration, and he listed his city and state as "12th man, Wa.).
The candidate also got a shot in on Tom Brady and Deflategate when naming their committee. "I'm just here so you don't deflate deez nuts," the form reads.

The person also filled out "peace and freedom" for their party affiliation. Hell, if Kanye West can declare that he's running for president, why can't the five-time Pro Bowler?

Though Lynch, 29, is six years off the age where he can become president, here are three reasons why Beast Mode would make a great leader for America:
1) Media Man
Let's face it, the president and athletes get tired of answering the same damn annoying questions all the time from the media. Lynch was fined $50,000 by the NFL after refusing to speak to the media during the duration of the 2013 season. The fine was later pulled back, but the running back was once again levied for ignoring the media in 2014, this time to the tune of $100,000.
Fans also can't forget his interviews in 2014 where he answered every question with "Yeah" and then followed it up by showing his true admiration to the media by saying some variation of, "I appreciate you asking" to every question. Lynch's masterpiece was leading up to February's Super Bowl where he repeatedly said, "I'm just here so I won't get fined."
If Lynch is that media shy when it comes to the gridiron, imagine the kind of answers he'll cook up when he's running the country and dealing with heated issues.
2) America, Taste The Rainbow
Lynch has himself quite the sweet tooth and he's known to chow down on Skittles candy during games. Mars even offered the running back a two-year supply of the candy back in 2011.
The NFL hasn't always been pleased with his candy-coated crush as it fined the Super Bowl XLVIII champion $10,000 in 2011 for wearing cleats that resembled a skittles pattern, going against league policy.
Lynch even reached a business agreement with Skittles and memorably dove into an end zone of the snack on "Conan." If your president is diving into a tub full of Skittles on national television, your country is doing it right.
3) He's Really, Really Good At Football
Barack Obama plays his fair share of sports, but the athletic prowess and sharp skills of Lynch may very well transfer over into good leadership off the gridiron. Lynch has rushed for 8,695 yards in his career and has 71 touchdowns and he tied for the league lead with 13 scores on the ground in 2014.
A president with some added swagger is just what the country needs.
