Oklahoma City Thunder PG Nate Robinson may be finally making his longshot NFL quest a reality. If you excavate his and Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll’s Twitter timelines, you’ll see that Robinson (while using “lol” at one point) asks him for a tryout and Carroll’s status at about 3:00 PM CT is: “@nate_robinson well then, see you at practice at 1:30. bring your cleats.” Pete Carroll has specified that the tryout would be for defensive back.
While I think he’ll be slightly more successful than Chad Ochocinco in his MLS stint, I doubt he’ll be making team. If this tryout goes down, I will give Pete Carroll serious credit.
