Buffalo Bills’ Brandon Beane on Gable Steveson’s off-field allegations

Gable Steveson heading to the Buffalo Bills made perfect sense given his wrestling background. Head coach Sean McDermott has always liked players with such athletic experience.

However, Steveson’s journey is not perfect. The 24-year-old Olympian was arrested on suspicion of criminal sexual misconduct while studying at the University of Minnesota, but the case was reportedly dropped due to a lack of evidence.

However, questions arise when a team drafts such a player. At minicamp, Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane explained why the Bills decided to do this.

“As I told you before, I’m not a criminal investigator,” Beane said. “There have been no charges.”
