ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Gareon Conley initially committed to Michigan coming out of Washington High School in Massillon, Ohio, before reneging and going to Ohio State.
Will Michigan alum and Oakland Raiders legend Charles Woodson, who retired after the 2015 season but still looms large in Silver and Blackdom, forgive him?
“Hopefully,” Conley said with an uneasy laugh at the Raiders facility Friday, a day after Oakland selected him with the No. 24 overall pick as his draft stock fell in the wake of a rape allegation.
Conley has maintained his innocence -- he's said he will meet with Cleveland police Monday -- and the Raiders obviously believe him.
