The unlikely story of a long-snapping Green Beret with an NFL dream

[Ooh-Rah]

I don't remember if we had a thread about this guy, pretty cool story. Hope he makes it to the NFL.

Guys would be complaining during two-a-days and I'd stop practice and say, 'Nate, why don't you come up here and tell us about Iraq,'" Brown said. "That'd be the end of that."
- Coach Mack Brown

Interesting, they reference 3rd and 10th, but he's wearing a 1st flash on his Beret...

SI wrote about him. Have to scroll down just a little bit, but then it starts and goes all the way through Page 2.

This was the most recent article I found on Nate. He has put on 20 pounds since college, not sure if it is valid, but they said he was still deploying when he was with the longhorns.
