In 2006, running back Marshawn Lynch was a Heisman Trophy candidate for the Cal Bears football team when he famously commandeered an injury cart and went for a joy ride near the end of a win over Washington.

Ten years later, Lynch is now retired from the NFL and Cal honored Lynch with a bobblehead. That bobblehead portrays Lynch riding the injury cart.

So, how better to introduce Lynch before the game against Washington then to have him — and his mom — recreate his crazy ride. In fact, it was so crazy that Lynch almost hit a member of the Cal band.

And here is the original cart ride back in 2006:
