It’s April 2, so this can’t be an April Fool’s joke, right? The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport broke the news on Monday that Joey Bosa of the Los Angeles Chargers will have a cameo at some point during the final season of Game of Thrones.
According to Sports Illustrated, Bosa and his younger brother Nick — who is projected to be a top pick in this year’s NFL Draft — are huge fans of the show, and will be in attendance for the Game of Thrones season 8 premiere in New York City tomorrow night. Bosa reportedly “flooded the Chargers locker room” with his obsession for the show, and has watched the series multiple times as he makes his way through George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.
Details on Bosa’s appearance are not known at this time, although if it’s anything like fellow athletic superstar Noah Syndergaard’s appearance — the New York Mets pitcher appeared as a Lannister soldier throwing a spear during Daenerys’ Loot Train Attack — it’ll be brief. We’ll keep our eyes peeled come April 14.
