It has been an amazing month for Gable Steveson as he won the gold medal at Tokyo Olympics 2020. Despite trailing to Georgia’s Geno Petriashvili in the final, the wrestler came back and won the match with just 0.7 seconds remaining on the clock. It was the first gold medal in his career.

An ardent fan of the great Jordan Burroughs, the American wrestler now wants to try his luck in the NFL. A team with Steveson amongst its ranks would send shivers down the spine of any opponent.

With different franchises approaching him, time will tell whether he makes his debut in the NFL.

Significantly, the dominance of the wrestler was seen during the Tokyo Olympics as he did not lose a point heading to the finals. Despite trailing to Geno, the ability and the determination of the wrestler are incredible. Most of the athletes would throw in their towel with the time that remained on the clock, during the final. But Gable had other ideas.

There are now talks suggesting that he would sign up for an NFL franchise.

With the physical abilities that he possesses, this American wrestler would be a force to reckon with in the NFL. In a recent podcast interview with ‘Pardon My Take’, there were many questions related to the possibility of him joining the NFL. This is what he said:

“I talked to coach Fleck of Gopher football and he wanted me to come out before I went to the Olympic games, come play for a little bit, but I told him after the Olympic Games, I will give him an official decision. So I am considering playing football. I hope one day I can get a trial with the NFL, and there are some teams who have came and mentioned me to agents and stuff.”
