In a video message, Colton Underwood suggested he and Raisman go on a date with Raiders player Andrew East and 2008 Summer Olympics gold medalist Shawn Johnson, who are married.
The United States gymnast Aly Raisman took home a gold and two silver medals from the Rio Olympics, and when she came home, she received a date request.
Using Yahoo Sports, Raiders tight end Colton Underwood, 24, sent a video to Raisman, 22, congratulating her for her success. At the end of the video, he asked if she'd want to go on a date.
The pitch was for a double-date — Underwood and Raisman along with
Raiders long snapper Andrew East and 2008 gold medalist Shawn Johnson, who are married.
Raisman, who is friends with Johnson, said the former American gymnast has told her about Underwood before, and she's willing to give him a chance.
