I watched him play football at UW. He SUCKED at cornerback lol. I don't even care if he was a freshman, dude got torched all season long. Even Husky fans were happy he just stuck with basketball. I was surprised they never tried him out at tailback. He seemed more suited for that, but maybe because he was going to play basketball he didn't want to play a more punishing position.

People hype him up because of one play: his interception against a 6'6" receiver in the 2002 Apple Cup. What people conveniently forget about that play is that it came on an under thrown ball by a backup QB who was thrown into a close game in the 4th after the starter suffered a high ankle sprain. It was about 20-25 degrees and the backup came in cold, having not played the entire season.

He has NO shot at the NFL. None.

Can't lie I really did not know this.

He's more or less from North Oakland and when he was playing as a freshman at UDub it was more just like damn you see that boy Nate.

Most people weren't watching the games cause they weren't televised down here.

Not much of an issue still.


Plenty of scatbacks that stand 5'6/5'7.



That said, I know he was a DB in High School. Highly doubt at 31 he can learn a new position.



He has a ton of athleticism but I don't think that would be enough for him to make the transition. Best of luck to him in any case. Was fun to watch in the NBA.

He may have played DB in high school, but he was the running back, too. That's why I was surprised he only played corner at UW. They had some decent running backs at the time, but he could have been a Sproles type guy for them.
 
I don't know what Nate's career earnings are but all those future millions would have been subject to far more risk playing a position like RB for one season vs. DB.

Yall know how NOT fun being a freshman RB is?

I was one of them. *shrugs*

For the life of me, I can't remember him being so atrocious. I thought for a Freshman he showed a lot of potential even if he did, as a few have said, was horrible overall. It still intrigues me to wonder how much better he could've gotten if he kept playing, just from the athlete he is alone.

Basketball was the right choice either way though.
