When Marshawn Lynch retired, he retired as a 29-year-old running back still capable of treating would-be tacklers like flimsy pieces of cardboard. So, naturally, people wondered: Why exactly did Beast Mode retire so early?

The answer (maybe): to hang out with Bill Clinton.

And Oakland's mayor.

So, clearly, Lynch's post-NFL life isn't shaping out so bad. While his teammates gear up for another rigorous season, Lynch is taking trips to Egypt, riding camels, dunking on kids, and stealing hats.

Oh, and add hanging with a former President to that list.

Power duo. (Twitter: @ClintonGlobal)
