Marshawn Lynch's car was missing a tire at time of DUI arrest?

Sure, Bay Area rap tracks mention some pretty interesting ways of driving , but it appears Oakland native Marshawn Lynch might have taken that to the next level.

Photos were released on Wednesday by TMZ Sports of the car the former NFLer was driving when he was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Las Vegas on Tuesday, and they show that the 2020 Shelby GT500 was running with one tire flat and another completely missing.

TMZ reported Lynch had been driving onto curbs prior to stopping the car and waiting for cops to arrive at the scene. According to the New York Post, the five-time Pro Bowler is "facing charges of failure/refusing to surrender proof of security, unregistered vehicle, and failure to drive in a travel lane."

The timing of Lynch's arrest is interesting given the Seattle Seahawks had just announced on Tuesday that the retired running back would serve as a special correspondent for the team next season. Lynch was a pivotal player for the Seahawks during their run in the 2010s that led them to a Super Bowl in 2014.

Later in the season, the Seahawks say, “Marshawn Lynch will also act as a special correspondent for the team, where he will produce creative content for a variety of projects.”
