Nate Boyer is a former American US Army Green Beret, and the youngest rookie ever in the NFL. After serving six years and multiple tours for the Army in both Iraq and Afghanistan, Boyer played college football as a walk-on at the University of Texas despite never having played a down of organized football in his life. At the Army\u2019s request, Nate wrote an open letter to Colin Kapernik, the results of which forever cemented Nate\u2019s legacy in the arena of pumice and political consciousness.
