There are many football experts on this board and I will ask of them the question - What other running back in NFL history ran with more Toughness, Desire and Grit than Marshawn Lynch?

Lynch is more like him than he is like Campbell, Brown, or Czonka.

Walter Payton .Campbell, Riggins, those were guys all cut from the same mold as Lynch in terms of being die hard runners with underrated athleticism.
And Lynch is certainly one of the best. He is HOF worthy IMO in spite of his somewhat compressed career.
