The Buffalo Bills signed Olympic gold medalist wrestler Gable Steveson, the franchise announced Friday. Steveson, who will compete for a spot on the defensive line, agreed to a standard three-year rookie deal, his agent told ESPN.

“I have been fortunate to compete at the highest level of competition in my sport but am looking forward to the challenge of seeing how my wrestling skills may translate to football,” Steveson, who has never played football before, told ESPN.

“I am grateful to Coach [Sean] McDermott, [general manager] Brandon Beane and the Buffalo Bills organization for giving me this opportunity.”
