Favorite Answer

I suppose, but it doesn't seem like many Japanese people are interested.  Hell, the only one to put in the effort was Noriaki.  I would imagine most Japanese people would be more interested in becoming baseball players, as far as US sports go.

Why not? If Garo Yepremian can become not only an NFL player but one who revolutionized the game, anyone can.

Haruka Nakamuri

Only one I could find.  2008-1012.  Played for the Ravens, then in his last year started 13 games for the Panthers.  He's American of Japanese descent.
