Already dreading going a week without a Marshawn Lynch highlight?

Fret not, football fans, he’s got you covered.

The running back, who came out of retirement to join his hometown Oakland Raiders this season, posted a video on Instagram Thursday morning of him hitting the field with his old high school’s football team — and completely running it over.

We should note that it’s not totally clear when this actually took place — whether it was in fact this week, or perhaps from a pre-season scrimmage. But either way, it’s pretty great, and the kids are loving it.

Just keep workin it will happen no matter what!!!!Yes lawd!!!!

Lynch is beloved in Oakland and is incredibly active in the community, so it’s not surprising to see him turn up at his old stomping grounds to have some fun.

The longtime Seattle Seahawk has run for 266 yards and two touchdowns in seven games with the Raiders this season — his 11th NFL campaign. The 31-year-old was suspended one game for making physical contact with an official during last Thursday’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs and will miss his team’s Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
