NFL to investigate accusations that Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte placed 8,927 bets in 13-month span while at LSU

With the first Super Bowl in the history of Las Vegas taking center stage over the next two weeks, the NFL revealed Tuesday that it will be investigating New England Patriots rookie wideout Kayshon Boutte, who was arrested last week by the Louisiana State Police in relation to a 13-month run of sports gambling he allegedly engaged in while in that state.

In a warrant issued for his arrest, Louisiana authorities alleged that Boutte placed at least 8,927 online bets between April 6, 2022, and May 7, 2023, which encompassed his final season playing for LSU.
