Nate Robinson, a former multi-sport star at Rainier Beach and the University of Washington before playing 11 seasons in the NBA, said in a YouTube video released this week (see below) that he wants to play in the NFL.
Robinson, who turns 32 in May, says in the video, “You ask people around here they’ll know, Nate Robinson, his best sport is football. People tell me all the time, if anybody can do it, go play football, it’s you.”
The elaborately produced video also includes testimonials to Robinson’s football and athletic ability from former UW football coach Rick Neuheisel and NBA stars such as Jamal Crawford, also a Rainier Beach alum, and Glen Davis.
