’24’
In case you haven’t heard, the NFL’s Marshawn Lynch recently announced his retirement earlier this month. As a result of his efforts to not only promote Call of Duty: Black Ops III, but appear briefly in the game, developer Treyarch has enshrined his legacy.
If you go to the level “Combine” (itself a thinly-veiled NFL reference), you can find references to “24,” which is Lynch’s jersey number. In the video below from chaosxsilencer you’ll find footage of the stage before the update, which didn’t have the references in tow.
Thankfully Lynch won’t have to awkwardly avoid forced media interviews and can live off of the money that he saved throughout his career.
