Lattimore defends ex-teammate Conley after rape allegation
Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports
It was revealed on Tuesday morning that Ohio State cornerback and NFL draft prospect Gareon Conley has been named in a police report filed by a woman who claims he raped her in a Cleveland hotel. Conley and his agent have since strongly denied the allegation.
His former Buckeyes teammates took to Twitter to comment on the situation, and Conley did so as well.

Fellow draft prospect Marshon Lattimore tried to come to Conley's defense, as did New York Jets linebacker Darron Lee.
So the first thing you say to a girl that you meet in the elevator is let's have a foursome? Lol that doesn't even make sense https://t.co/SRAGgRGCmU
