Olympian Gable Steveson gives Dana White, Vince McMahon a nudge, but may be NFL bound

It seems there’s no free agent in the sporting world with more untapped potential and wide ranging interest than newly crowned Olympian Gable Steveson. The 6’, 260 lb wrestler out of the University of Minnesota earned his first D1 national championship in 2021 on his way to competing at the Tokyo Summer Olympics, where scored a stunning comeback victory over Georgia’s Geno Petriashvili to take home the gold medal.

Still just 21 years old and with a year of collegiate eligibility remaining, questions abound as to just what Steveson might do next. The wrestling phenom has even helped stir up a few rumors himself, with a couple notable shout-outs on social media.
