NFL Star Reportedly Dating High Schooler<\/p>\n

This week, Cleveland Browns<\/a> rookie Joe Royer has been under fire because of his questionable relationship with an 18-year-old coach\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n

Royer has not yet played in the NFL. In this year\u2019s draft, the Browns selected the former University of Cincinnati tight end in the fifth round.\u00a0 \u00a0While he spent the first three years of his college career in Ohio, he played his final season years with the Cincinnati Bearcats. It was there that he worked with tight ends coach Josh Stepp.<\/p>\n

Several valid suspicions have been raised concerning the romantic relationship between Royer and Stepp\u2019s daughter, Rilee.\u00a0 The 24-year-old was photographed at the 18-year-old\u2019s graduation, which was shared by his coach (also Rilee\u2019s father).\u00a0 \u00a0 Several photos and videos have surfaced on social media suggesting that there is indeed something going on, and the story has sparked a firestorm online.<\/p>\n

Last season, Rilee posted a photo wearing Royer\u2019s Bearcats jersey. In addition, she posted a heart emoji under one of his posts and even added a picture of the TE to her Instagram stories.<\/p>\n

Now, a TikTok video has emerged showing the pair having fun together.\u00a0 Here is the video:<\/p>\n

Fans have had mixed reactions<\/a> about this entire situation:<\/p>\n

People really self report how creepy they are by defending this.<\/p>\n

The same people that are crying about this are the same people that think it\u2019s ok for pre teens to basically neuter themselves. Pay them no mind.<\/p>\n

Crazy to me people have an issue with this<\/p>\n

They look like they are in love. This talmudist would be happy if she cut her breasts off at 17 and became a trans. But because she dates her \u201cbest friend\u201d who is a college graduate NFL player millionaire it\u2019s so wrong? She is an 18 year old college cheerleader. Leave them alone<\/p>\n

Leave them alone. They\u2019re obviously a happy couple and her father is ok with them being together. It\u2019s only a 6 year age gap. My parents had a 13 year age gap. Nothing to see here<\/p>\n

and her dad was just cool with this? Both of them need to be investigated. Birds of a feather.<\/p>\n

what am I missing? I don\u2019t even know what is happening in video? Lol My grandmother was 16 when\u0308 she married my grandfather who was 30. They stayed married 48 yrs until he passed.<\/p>\n

What is your opinion of this relationship?<\/p>\n
