Tubbs takes big step in return to Hawks

All eyes should have been on Marcus Tubbs’ left knee at Seahawks training camp Tuesday morning when the wide-bodied defensive tackle practiced for the first time.

Leave it to the former first-round draft choice to come up with a diversionary tactic.

Gone were the dreadlocks that had been his signature look during an on-going rehab from having microfracture surgery in November; replaced by a Mohawk — ala Clubber Lang, the Mr. T character from the “Rocky” series.

“It was too much maintenance, so I just wanted to go with a different look,” Tubbs said, turning to display the tapered tuft on the back of his head. “I can’t say that I’m a big Clubber Lang fan, but I like the Mohawk.”
