Gareon Conley looks you in the eye when he answers your question about what he’s learned over the last few weeks.
“To keep the faith,” he says. “Have a tight support system. And never lose faith.”
And that is all. Conley, after arriving at Raiders headquarters for the first time on Friday, utters no more words about the April 9 incident that shook up his NFL draft prospects. A woman has accused him of raping her at a Cleveland hotel that night. An investigation is still proceeding by the authorities. The Raiders decided to draft Conley anyway with the 24th overall pick of the first round because at Ohio State, he was a great cornerback who helped the Buckeyes win a national championship and a bunch of other games.
