Raiders' first-round pick Gareon Conley won't face discipline from NFL
1:50 PM ET
Gareon Conley, the Oakland Raiders' first-round draft pick who was accused of sexual assault, will not face discipline from the NFL.

That's because the alleged incident occurred before the NFL Draft. The news was confirmed Tuesday by league spokesman Brian McCarthy.

Baltimore Ravens, which his lawyer said he passed.

Under the NFL's personal conduct policy, the woman's allegation could still come into play if Conley is ever involved in another incident after his NFL career begins. Under the policy, "conduct occurring prior to the players' association with the NFL" will be considered when weighing discipline. The policy also provides for "enhanced and/or expedited discipline, including banishment from the league with the opportunity to reapply" for repeat offenders.

Conley is a former Ohio State cornerback. He was drafted with the No. 24 overall pick.

Zeke's issue was before the draft as well right?

Yup. Yet people here say the league doesnt have it out for us. HAHA

 

[Denim Chicken]

This should apply to Lewis as well.

On top of that, they are using another so called incident from when he was in college wayyyyyy before the draft and were collecting info on it. Tell me how that works?

So was Terrelle Pryor's, and he got suspended.

No kidding

The previously mentioned incidents are exactly why Goodell got in trouble in the past for his many inconsistencies. Some things never change.

 

[TheFinisher]

And Randy Gregory got the death sentence for self medicating

At least the NFLs priorities are in order

 

[Zekeats]

But if ya smoke weed before the draft it's held against ya. Comical

That's not entirely true at all. You can smoke the country of Jamaica if you so decide. You just can't fail a test. One that the date for is known well in advance.

I guess that applies to Lewis as well then.

One that is administered at an invite-only NFL sanctioned event

No charges were filed against Conley.

Lewis has a court date set. That's the difference. If found guilty, Lewis is probably suspended.

The drug test at the combine is as much an intelligence test as the Wonderlic.

OK, but say charges are filed, the incident still occurred prior to the draft. The reasoning should not be that the "incident" occurred prior to the draft but that charges are not filed. That is not what it says though.

This should apply to Lewis as well.

Exactly, I posted this in the fan zone earlier. He is facing a misdemeanor offense. Even if convicted (a big if), he is unlikely to receive jail time. He should be ready to go for training camp and the season.

Not sure about that. Even if found guilty, the incident occurred before he was associated with the NFL. Even if he is later found guilty by a court, I'm not sure the NFL can suspend him .

Zekes was before that. Why is he still under investigation?
