Aly Raisman Stuns NFL World With Special Appearance Following Career Shift Announcement

Now that this year’s NFL season is finally over, it’s time to take a moment to pay homage to the players who made the year a memorable one. While the Resorts World Theatre, Las Vegas was swarmed by NFL stars, one unexpected guest stole the show in style. For Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman, getting accustomed to retired life is still an ongoing process, and it was the “Fierce Five” member that set the red carpet on fire on Thursday night.

Aly Raisman is a name that is adored all across the country thanks to her sensational Olympic exploits in both London (2012) and Rio de Janeiro (2016). While fans are loving every second of Raisman’s new career direction, it looks like she’s attentive to satiate the fans from other domains as well.

In their recent social media post, the official NFL account shared snippets of Aly Raisman gracing the red carpet event from last night. “6-Time Olympic medalist @Aly_Raisman“, reads the X (formerly known as Twitter) post accompanied by a star emoji that is an obvious attempt to reflect the starstruck feeling of the folks at the National Football League camp. In the short video clip, Raisman can be seen posing and smiling for the cameras as she looks dapper in a beautiful short applique dress and black heels.

The photographers also can’t get enough of Raisman, who is the third-most decorated American Olympic gymnast. “Aly, one more!“, the photographers continue to request Aly and she happily entertains the same. Raisman looked incredibly poised and comfortable on the red carpet for an event of a sport that she has not played. While Raisman’s appearance may have taken the fans by surprise, her association with the world of the NFL isn’t something new.

In 2016, Raisman sent ripples across the community after being publicly spotted with NFL star Colton Underwood.

Shortly after this, they started dating. However, the romance didn’t last long and eventually, they parted ways. However, her time with Underwood apparently ignited some sort of inkling toward the sport and Raisman was also witnessed at previous NFL Honors before last Thursday.

This comes amid the Olympian Gymnast recently starting her career as a collegiate gymnast analyst. Raisman impressed her fans with amazing insights of the sport in her first appearance recently. Now, it waits to be seen what other high-profile and star-studded event is next on Raisman’s exclusive list.
