Nate Robinson trying out for NFL

[NYC Rebel]

Slight of frame even for an NBA player, Nate Robinsonannounced Thursday he intends to make a transition to the NFL gridiron.

The 31-year-old diminutive guard, who is currently a free agent, released a video through The Lead Sports to break the news of his plans to audition for NFL teams

He played football at the University of Washington. Probably won't make a team now, but back in the day he possible could have made a name for himself as a DB.

 

[Gotright]

Yall nikka was in the leauge for11 years

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Why not, he might make it. Been a pro for years, never took as much punishment or played heavy minutes, we know he's in shape, etc.

Someone could take a chance

Going from a non-contact sport to a contact sport isn't good for the joints. Whether he's in it for the money, the fame, the glory, or just a lofty personal goal, he's going to get hurt.

One of Seattle's finest.

He'll get a shot, he a unbelievable athlete who's in shape and still have speed. That 11 years flew by, had no idea he's been in the league that long.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Nah. You don't take 10 years off from football and make an NFL roster. Don't care how great an athlete you are. Dude for the 9ers was one of the best rugby players ever or something and a fantastic athlete and barely made the squad while in his 20's. Nate is past his physical prime and was a CB, the most athletically demanding position on the field

 

[Goat poster]

He would have been a really good DB had he went to the NFL after college.

But after 11 years that ship has sailed.

 

[reserved_one]

Well, you cant knock him for trying to follow his dreams...I think he has a chance but it will be very difficult giving that he's been out of football since college

He played football at the University of Washington. Probably won't make a team now, but back in the day he possible could have made a name for himself as a DB.

He was a projected as a second round pick as a CB back in the day

He's a great athlete, it's too late now though

Basketball IS a contact sport. Football is a collision sport (sorry pet peeve)

But anyway I agree it doesn't seem like a very smart idea.
