Former NBA player Nate Robinson had a tryout with the Seattle Seahawks on Monday, a league source has confirmed.

Robinson had been playing basketball in Israel, but he's expressed interest in pursuing an NFL career at the age of 32.

"I need to get a little stronger, a little faster," Robinson told Kevin Pelton in April. "Lifting weights and watching a lot of film. Work on my feet and my hands and how to press [as a cornerback]. Basic stuff. I catch on pretty fast. Just learn some of the drills they'd have me do and start practicing and get ready for it.

"The biggest challenge is probably all the haters, everybody counting me out, somebody not really giving me the opportunity. That's what I think the biggest challenge will be, getting somebody to give me that chance. If somebody gives me that chance, I know they'll fall in love with the fierce competitor that I am because I catch on quick. Once I do that, then the sky's the limit. I don't know. It seems like they wouldn't want me to be the first one to do something like this. That's a huge challenge."
