Sports Illustrated: Postcard from camp: Cal

Team-first star RB Lynch, QB by committee and more

By Arash Markazi, SI.com

BERKELEY, Calif. -- I wanted to embarrass Marshawn Lynch. Not because I don't like the guy. On the contrary, he's easily one of the most likable players in the country. But getting Cal's star tailback to talk about himself is harder than getting Paris Hilton to stay home on a Saturday night. It's just not happening.  So as he walked off the field at Memorial Stadium after Thursday's early morning practice, I went up to Lynch and handed him a pamphlet that the Cal media relations department made to hype his Heisman candidacy. The cover of the 10-page brochure blares, "Ten on #10. Ten things to know about Cal running back Marshawn Lynch, 2006 Heisman Trophy Candidate."

Here is the link.
