ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — 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 Steveson 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. He then went on to win two college national titles at Minnesota in 2021 and ’22, and twice was named the Dan Hodge Trophy winner as the nation’s best college wrestler.
After his second college championship, Steveson left his shoes in the center of the mat, symbolizing his retirement from amateur wrestling.
In Buffalo, Steveson joins a team with a head coach in Sean McDermott who was a two-time high school national wrestling champion growing up in Pennsylvania. And while McDermott went on to pursue football after high school, he credits wrestling for helping shape his life.
