Olympic gold medal wrestler Gable Steveson has become the NFL's latest two-sport pro athlete after signing with the Bills.
Olympic gold medal wrestler Gable Steveson is seeking to trade the mat for the gridiron by signing a standard undrafted rookie free agent contract with the Buffalo Bills on Friday. The Bills list the 24-year-old as a defensive lineman in hopes his leverage techniques and agility can translate to football. Listed at 5-foot-11 and 266 pounds, Steveson, at 21, became the youngest freestyle wrestler to win gold as a super heavyweight at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
The Bills opened a spot to add Steveson by releasing Matt Haack, one of three punters on the roster. Buffalo re-signed Haack this offseason after adding him to their practice squad in the playoffs as insurance when Sam Martin was bothered by a hamstring injury. Steveson becomes the second player without past football experience Buffalo has added to its roster this offseason.
