Marshawn Lynch is loved by NFL fans for his one-of-a-kind personality. Lynch connects with people on a level rarely seen with other sports personalities.

He was recently seen calling a game of SlamBall and his commentary garnered an amazing reaction. One play had the former NFL star compare it to the video game Sonic the Hedgehog:

"If this was Sonic, all his coins would've been knocked out right now. You would've been hearing them things come out BADINGDINGDINGDING... SIT HIM ON HIS BACK POCKETS. SIT HIM ON HIS A*S CHEEKS!"

Fans took to Twitter to share how much they loved Marshawn Lynch's call during SlamBall:

A couple of fans doubled down on wanting Lynch in the booth for either NFL games or any other sport:

The 37-year-old has found great success outside of the NFL besides being a SlamBall commentator. He can be seen in the comedic teen film "Bottoms" as Mr. G, who oversees an after-school fight club put together by some students.

Emma Seligman, the film's director, explained in an interview with GQ Magazine how Lynch thought they had the wrong person:

"We offered it to him, and then we had a phone call. He was like, 'Do you have me confused with someone else? Like an actor?' I told him, 'No, we want you.'”

The former running back has also been on the TV shows "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "Murderville."
