    Another day, another top prospect facing bad news (this time, Gareon Conley)

    Report: Gareon Conley accused of sexual assault in Cleveland
    Posted by Mike Florio on April 25, 2017, 1:41 PM EDT

    The unnamed player facing an accusation of sexual assault in Cleveland has been named. According to TMZ, the first-round prospect is Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley.

    Conley strongly denies the accusations.

    Per TMZ, a police report explains that a 23-year-old woman said Conley raped her in the bathroom of a suite at the Westin Hotel in Cleveland. The police report reportedly explains that the alleged victim claims she met Conley in an elevator, and that he asked her to have a “foursome.” The alleged victim claims she declined to participate but agreed to watch as others had group sex.

    In the initial report regarding the incident, which didn’t name Conley, lawyer Kevin Spellacy called the accusation “ludicrous and ridiculous,” and argued that “this young lady is an opportunist and it’s actually despicable.”

    According to TMZ, two of Conley’s friends told police nothing happened between him and the woman.

    Conley supposedly is willing to be interviewed after the draft. If, however, he’s not cleared by police before the draft, his stock could plummet. At least one team that was considering taking Conley in the first round has told PFT that, if this cloud remains as of Thursday night, the team won’t be able to select him.

    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

      I just posted the same story. Interesting cause if the Steelers were looking for a CB in round 1....Ohio State players are usually high on their list.

                  Report: Gareon Conley won’t attend draft
                  Posted by Josh Alper on April 25, 2017, 3:02 PM EDT

                  Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley was among the players the NFL announced as draft attendees this year, but a report that he’s named in a police report regarding an allegation of sexual assault appears to have changed his plans.

                  Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Conley will not be in Philadelphia for this week’s event.

                  Conley has been widely projected to be a first-round pick over the last couple of months, but the allegation reported by TMZ is likely to have an impact on where he winds up going. Conley’s lawyer has called the allegations “ludicrous and ridiculous” and Conley has not been charged with any crime, but there’s a recent example that doesn’t bode well for Conley.

                  Offensive lineman La’El Collins was expected to be a high pick a couple of years ago, but went undrafted after he was not cleared of involvement in the murder of an ex-girlfriend. Collins signed with the Cowboys after eventually being cleared.

                  Conley could be cleared of any wrongdoing between now and Thursday, but anything short of that could lead to a drop that Conley apparently wants to avoid reacting to in front of cameras.

                            I didn't want Conley before this happened. Malik Hooker and Marcus Lattimore were the Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman of this defense, while Gareon Conley played the Byron Maxwell role.

                              I have been listening to the Cleveland sports radio show, they reported that they received a report that the Rape kit the woman had done does have unknown DNA in her. And yet the Agent and Lawyer for Conley have already gone on record and denied their client ever met her or had sex with her. Well if it comes back that the DNA in her is Conley's...they can't very well then change their story and say..Oh...but the sex was totally consensual. That won't work.
