Former WWE wrestler Gable Steveson was released from his contract by the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday, according to ProFootballTalk.com. Steveson signed a three-year deal as a defensive lineman with the Bills on May 31 despite having never played football before.
Powell’s POV: Steveson did not make the active roster, but there’s still a chance that he could be signed by another team or added to the Bills’ or another tean’s practice squad. Steveson was released from his WWE deal on May 4.
Gavble is 6’1″ 275 lbs, and defensive lineman average around 6’4′ 315 lbs.. He was engulfed during the preseason and also had that same issue in practice, as per reports from team media. He couldn’t get away from blocks, and he doesn’t have the techniques or skills needed to be a pro.
He gave it a shot, so good for him.
