SEATTLE (AP) -It only took Kentwan Balmer a meeting with Mike Singletary, a few days of unexcused absences from the 49ers and then a trade to get a new NFL life in Seattle.
The 23-year-old is not sharing the reason for his rift with the team that drafted him in the first round just two years ago.
Balmer said “you’re very persistent, man,” when pressed Tuesday for an explanation by The Associated Press.
That was after he passed a physical with the Seahawks and then practiced at defensive tackle and end with the second unit.
A first-round pick that disappears from the team, then resurfaces with its division rival seems to need more of an explanation.
Balmer admits “it strikes people as a little different” but says he’s ready to move on in Seattle.
