 The much bigger issue is obviously a credible victim of rape. I just felt the near-statutory nature of it was worth mentioning because it adds to the questionable judgment of our front office. 

There were plenty of talented offensive linemen in the 2021 nfl draft. We didn't need to draft the one that may have raped an underage girl (age of consent in South Carolina being 16).
