The NFL has reportedly concluded its investigation into whether an NFL team asked prospect Derrius Guice if liked men, finding no evidence that such a question was asked of Guice by any teams.

Guice himself recently sort of retracted his claim that he was asked that question by an NFL team to begin with. As Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reported recently, “Guice has since indicated privately and to teams those questions weren’t really asked by NFL teams.”
“His explanation was that it was taken out of context,” one executive said. “There’s just a lot going on with him.”
The NFL has taken steps to ensure that no NFL prospects are asked this type of question in the future. When this first came to light, even without doing an investigation, the league set up training for teams to avoid anything similar going forward.
