Expecting slide for CB Gareon Conley in NFL draft, teams press for details in sexual assault allegations

While Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley hasn’t been charged after allegations of sexual assault, talent evaluators on three NFL teams said they believe he is headed for a significant NFL draft slide, leading some franchises that didn’t expect him to be available to scramble for details in the alleged incident. Two franchises confirmed dispatching private contractors – both using former FBI agents – to cull information in allegations that Conley sexually assaulted a woman in a Cleveland hotel. The driving force is the common thread that teams haven’t gotten any guidance from NFL security where it concerns Conley and will have to make their draft judgments based on their own research.
