Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll dropped an odd hint as to what the team might do just hours ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft.
On Thursday followingnoon, Carroll tweeted “Draft Clue #1” while re-tweeting a tweet from Netflix’s Twitter account that promoted season four of the reality TV show “Love is Blind” from March.
What Carroll meant with his tweet, no one really knows. But “Love is Blind” is a dating show that pairs men and women, who speak with a wall between them. They don’t see each other before they get engaged.
Maybe Carroll is suggesting that the Seahawks will draft someone they haven’t seen yet, which would be interesting because they hold the No. 5 and No. 20 overall picks in Thursday’s first round.
One hour later, Carroll tweeted clue No. 2, featuring the Seattle Kraken’s goal song remix of “Lithium” by Nirvana.
And then a little over an hour later came clue No. 3, a photo of actor Carl Weathers, who played Apollo Creed in multiple “Rocky” movies, Action Jackson in the eponymous movie and Chubbs Peterson in “Happy Gilmore.”
Carroll didn’t stop there. An hour following posting his third clue, Carroll re-tweeted a video of WNBA star Kelsey Plum throwing a t-shirt into the stands at an NBA game, calling it his fourth clue.
Who knows what all of that means. Carroll, though, has tipped his hand a bit regarding whom the team might be interested in drafting. When asked by ESPN if the Seahawks would consider selecting a quarterback with the fifth pick, he said, “There’s a couple guys there we’d be fired up regarding.”
The Seahawks coach has had some fun ahead of the draft. Some of the top quarterback prospects have taken selfies with Carroll and the rest of the Seahawks brass.
Carroll has also posted clues regarding draft picks in the past. Last year, his clue was “‘Next Year’ by Macklemore.” He also tweeted a pair of other clues, writing “‘New Rules’ by Dua Lipa” in one tweet and “‘Beautiful’ by Snoop Dogg” in another.
The Seahawks ended up selecting offensive tackle Charles Cross with the No. 9 overall pick.
