Source: Eagles, Other NFL Teams, Believe Gareon Conley Is Innocent

Don't rule out the possibility that the Eagles select cornerback Gareon Conley with the 14th pick in tonight's NFL draft.

A league source has told CSNPhilly's Derrick Gunn that the Eagles, and a number of other NFL teams, have investigated the sexual assault accusation facing Conley and believe he is innocent.

The former Ohio State captain was named in a police report detailing an alleged assault on April 9, but no information has been forwarded to prosecutors. The woman's attorney told Cleveland.com that she is traumatized and wants charges filed.

Conley has vehemently denied the allegation, and his attorney Kevin Spellacy told Cleveland.com that his client will speak with police and provide a DNA sample on Monday. 

Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.
