Lynch was in Las Vegas during the league’s quarterback draft to support his cousin Josh Johnson – who was taken with the No. 1 pick by the San Diego Fleet – according to Sports Illustrated.

The former Oakland Raiders running back agreed to talk at the AAF event for a two-minutes for $5,000, the magazine reported. However, instead of a check, Lynch requested to be paid in 20,000 quarters.
