[edit] Playing career
The 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) Lynn played at Celina High School and later at Texas Tech (1988-91), where he was an All-Southwest Conference running back in 1990. His senior year was cut short by a knee injury, and concerns about the injury left him undrafted. He was a journeyman reserve running back and special teams player during his NFL career, playing for the Denver Broncos (1993, 1997-99) and San Francisco 49ers (1995-96). He retired in 2000 due to repeated neck stinger injuries. Lynn was part of Denver's back-to-back Super Bowl champion teams (1997-98).
[edit] Coaching career
Upon retiring in 2000, he joined the Denver coaching staff as an offensive assistant and special teams coach (2000-02), before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars as the running backs coach (2003-04). He left Jacksonville after being switched to special teams coach following a coaching staff shakeup by head coach Jack Del Rio in 2005[1] and quickly joined the Dallas Cowboys staff as the running backs coach.[2] On January 26th, 2007, with the retirement of Bill Parcells as Dallas head coach, Lynn signed on with the Cleveland Browns to fill their RB coach vacancy.[3]
