Orchard Park, N.Y. (WGR Sports Radio 550) - The Buffalo Bills announced on Friday the signing of Olympic gold medalist and two-time wrestling national champion Gable Steveson to a contract.

Steveson, 24, wrestled at the University of Minnesota, where he won a pair of National Championships in 2021 and 2022. He also won a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the 125kg freestyle.
