The NFL’s sports betting overseer told attendees of the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States Friday that there are six policies regarding gambling that players must follow.
But David Highhill, who was named vice president and general manager of sports betting for the league a year ago, was silent about four player suspensions announced in late June during his 15-minute keynote address to lawmakers and gaming regulators in the second day of a conference about issues facing the gaming industry.
Indianapolis Colts cornerback Isaiah Rodgers and defensive lineman Rashod Berry and free agent defensive tackle Demetrius Taylor were suspended indefinitely as a result of them violating the league’s gambling policy.
