Aly Raisman became a household name during this summer’s Olympic Games, and caught the eye of one NFL player.
Colton Underwood, a 24-year-old tight end for the Oakland Raiders, sent Raisman, 22, a congratulatory video through Yahoo! Sports this week. At the end, he slipped in an invitation for a date if Raisman is ever in San Jose.
Raisman said yes, she’d double-date with Andrew East and 2008 gold medalist Shawn Johnson.
The two exchanged notes on Twitter:
@Colt3FIVE thanks for the sweet video…. looking forward to meeting you 🙂— Alexandra Raisman (@Aly_Raisman) August 21, 2016
Anytime! Looking forward to meeting you too. Safe travels back, see you soon! https://t.co/vWRhhqR5up— Colton Underwood (@Colt3FIVE) August 21, 2016
As it turns out, Raisman and the other four American gymnasts from Rio will be in San Jose on Sept. 18. So, there ya go. It’s a date.
