One word...monastery. Go there as soon as you declare for the draft and don't have any contact with the outside world.
These guys either can't control themselves or are targets for any money grubber out there. The monastic life would be a good life style until drafted."My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"Comment

Talk is that he could drop out of the first few rounds, or even out of the draft altogether, as teams will likely not have time to gather information about him.
If you're the GM, do you take a 6th or 7th round flyer on him, in case it turns out there's no substance to the charges?Comment

We'll find out what teams learned from the La'El Collins scenario a few years ago, I suppose.Talk is that he could drop out of the first few rounds, or even out of the draft altogether, as teams will likely not have time to gather information about him.
If you're the GM, do you take a 6th or 7th round flyer on him, in case it turns out there's no substance to the charges?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.Comment

especially if she is lying.
One thing ing that makes me wonder is the line where he says he won't speak with detectives until after the draft. If it was me I would be at the station right now giving a statement. Hell, might even hold a press conference.
Not sure if if you can legally do that but man this is terrible.
I also ned to add its even worse if he did have sex with her regardless if it was consensual or not. Why put yourself in that position? O wouldn't invite any strangers, male or female to my house or hotel before the draft.Steelers 27

Report: NFL teams feel Gareon Conley is innocent:
Gareon Conley might get selected in the first round of the NFL Draft after all.
According to Derrick Gunn of CSN Philly, the Philadelphia Eagles are one of may NFL teams that have done extended research on Conley over the last few days regarding his rape accusation from April 9.
The verdict from these teams? They feel Conley is innocent.
The eagles and other NFL teams have done their homework on Gareon Conley and feel he's innocent.. Shouldn't affect draft status.
— Derrick Gunn (@TheRealDGunnCSN) April 27, 2017
Conley was projected to go in the first round prior to the accusation, but the investigation is still ongoing.
Two of Conley's friends spoke with investigators after the alleged incident and said nothing happened. Conley's attorney called the allegations "ludicrous and ridiculous" to a local news station.Comment

I feel the same way, why would you not be trying to get cleared before the draft, knowing that with this hanging over your head it could cost you big time.especially if she is lying.

It's gonna take a ballsy GM to select Conley in round 1 NOT knowing what will happen. I mean even IF he does a plea deal, and gets off...after whatever early suspension he gets from the league...I can only imagine the hatred that whatever team takes him will get from around different women's groups, ect. But I am hearing the Eagles could draft him, and with the draft In Philly tonight...Oh boy, things could get U-G-L-Y!!Comment
