The Oakland Raiders “did a lot of work” investigating Gareon Conley before selecting him in the 1st round of the NFL Draft and believe he’s NOT a rapist … so says Ian Rapoport.
The NFL Network insider — one of the best football reporters in the game — says the Raiders dedicated serious resources to finding out as much as they could about Conley’s rape case before they selected.
Conley insists he’s been falsely accused of raping a woman at a Cleveland hotel on April 9. He has not been arrested or charged with a crime.
Get this, Rapoport says there was also interest from other teams — Conley even took a lie detector test to prove he’s telling the truth.
Bottom line, Ian says the Raiders were a solid team before the draft and if the Conley pick works out … they’re gonna be scary good.
