Olympic wrestling gold medalist Gable Steveson considers pursuing NFL career
Gable Steveson, the heavyweight wrestler who just won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, is considering the NFL.
In response to a gambling site that is laying odds on what Steveson will do next, Steveson tweeted that the smart money is on signing with an NFL team.
I would hope one day I can get a tryout with the NFL, Steveson said on Pardon My Take, via the Pioneer Press. There are some teams that have came and have mentioned me to some agents, and stuff that have sparked interest in me. It would be cool to go out there and play football and be in the NFL for a little bit.
Steveson wrestled at Minnesota, and the schools football coach, P.J. Fleck, said that if the 6-foot, 260-pound Steveson wants to get some college football experience before trying out for an NFL team, hed have a spot on the Gophers roster as a defensive lineman.
