Gareon Conley Sues Woman Who Accused Him of Rape, Causing His Draft Stock to Fall

In 2017, with the NFL draft only weeks aways, Gareon Conley was projected to be one of the top cornerbacks. Then he was accused of raping a woman and his draft stock plummeted.

The investigation into the woman’s accusation was ongoing during the draft and Conley, who was expected to be a high draft pick, fell all the way to the 24th pick with the Oakland Raiders. To give you an idea on the difference that makes financially, “Conley’s Ohio State teammate Marshon Lattimore went 11th overall to the New Orleans Saints and got a four-year deal worth $15.36 million,” Yahoo Sports reports. Conley would go on to sign a $10.467 million, four-year deal with the Raiders.

Now, with his rookie year behind him, Conley, who was cleared in July 2017 after a grand jury declined to press charges against him, has filed a lawsuit against the woman who claimed that he raped her https://www.theroot.com/oakland-raiders-cornerback-gareon-conley-sues-woman-who-1827364272
