Which NFL Player Just Asked Aly Raisman Out On A Date?
She said yes! Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman has agreed to go on a date with NFL star Colton Underwood after the Oakland Raider asked her out via video.
"Just want to congratulate you on all your success in the competitions and representing the U.S.A. over there. I know I've been following along," Underwood said in the video shown to Raisman by Yahoo Sports. "My roommates, my teammates, everybody here is super proud of you. You know, if you're ever in San Jose and want to go on a double date with me and Andrew and Shawn, let me know."
Underwood, 24, was referring to another Olympic champion, Shawn Johnson, and her husband, Raiders player Andrew East, both of whom know Raisman well. "Did Shawn put you up to this?" Raisman said with a smile before playing the video.
"They've actually told me about him before. He's very cute," Raisman, 22, said after the video, which has since been viewed millions of times on Facebook. "Yeah, I would go on a date with him."
Raisman later took the matchmaking moment to Twitter to send a personal message to Underwood. "Thanks for the sweet video," she wrote. "Looking forward to meeting you :) ."
"Anytime!" Underwood replied on his own Twitter shortly thereafter. "Looking forward to meeting you too. Safe travels back, see you soon!"
No word yet on when and where this proposed date will go down.
Raisman is coming off a wildly successful Olympic Games in Rio. She helped the United States women's gymnastics team win Gold for the second-consecutive Games. She also won Silver in the individual all-around competition and floor exercise final. In 2012, she won gold in the floor exercise final at the 2012 Olympics in London.
