The NFL announced on Tuesday that it will be looking into New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, who was arrested last week by the Louisiana State Police for a 13-month period of alleged sports gambling while in that state.
The first Super Bowl in Las Vegas’ history will be taking center stage for the next two weeks.
Authorities in Louisiana said that Boutte made at least 8,927 online wagers between April 6, 2022, and May 7, 2023, during his last season as an LSU player, according to a warrant for his arrest. Boutte was 20 years old and was not permitted to gambling in the state at the time of the alleged wagers.
