Gable Steveson follows Brock Lesnar’s plan.

The decorated former amateur wrestler, who just left NXT for WWE, is headed to the NFL.

Former United States Olympic gold medalist and WWE NXT competitor Gable Steveson has reportedly signed with the NFL’s Buffalo Bills, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Steveson, who is expected to play on the defensive line, joins the team on a standard three-year rookie contract.

“I have been fortunate to compete at the highest level of competition in my sport, but I look forward to the challenge of seeing how my wrestling skills can translate to football,” Steveson said in an interview with ESPN . “I’m grateful to Coach (Sean) McDermott, (general manager) Brandon Beane and the Buffalo Bills organization for giving me this opportunity.”

Steveson was released by WWE in early May after joining in 2021 and having an officially televised match.
