The Buffalo Bills have announced the signing of Gable Steveson, an Olympic gold medalist wrestler and former WWE superstar, as an undrafted free agent defensive tackle.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Steveson is signing a standard three-year rookie deal.
The 24-year-old won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo.
He attended the University of Minnesota where he won two National championships and three Big-Ten Conference championships. He was also named Big Ten Athlete of the Year in 2022.
Steveson signed a multi-year agreement with the WWE in September 2021 and was released earlier this year.
The Bills said Steveson will wear number 61.
Steveson is not the only nontraditional pickup for the Bills this offseason.
With their final pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Bills selected Travis Clayton from the International Pathway Program.
The team also announced the release of punter Matt Haack on Friday.
