Ex-Bulls guard Nate Robinson seeking shot in NFL with tryout for Seahawks

Share

Michael Jordan left the Bulls to pursue a baseball career. Now another former Bull is trying to become a two-sport star.

Nate Robinson, who played for the Bulls during the 2012-13 season, tried out for the NFL's Seattle Seahawks on Monday, according to a report from the Washington Post.

Robinson — an 11-year NBA veteran and a native of Seattle — played college football at the University of Washington, playing cornerback in all 13 games and coming away with a pair of interceptions during the 2002 season.

He has previously talked about pursuing a career in the NFL, but he's not expected to immediately get a job with the Seahawks, per the report.

Robinson became a fan favorite during his lone season in Chicago, playing in all 82 games and averaging 13.1 points per game, the second-best per-game scoring average of his career.

He had a few stellar scoring performances during the 2013 playoffs, scoring 20 or more points in four games, including a 34-point effort against the Brooklyn Nets.

Robinson played in just two games with the New Orleans Pelicans this season.
