Former Bills punter Matt Araiza could be in big trouble in gang-rape case as DNA evidence results back victim's claims

In August, former Buffalo Bills punter Matt Araiza was accused of participating in the gang-rape of a minor at a party. The investigation has been ongoing ever since. The DNA tests that were administered at the time have now returned with their results. According to WGRZ and CBS 8, the test results implicate multiple men. In a report obtained by CBS 8, the names of those implicated by the results have not been publicly disclosed.

A video has also surfaced showing the victim at a party reportedly wearing the same Halloween costume she was wearing on the night of the incident. In the video, which the 17-year old victim told her attorney was taken on the night before the alleged rape, she is seen saying she is 18 years old.

The test results could be damning for the former Bills punter who, just weeks ago, was enjoying a rise to stardom. Buffalo are also feeling the heat for drafting him:

Matt Araiza was selected in the sixth-round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He quickly became a nationally known name after delivering a 82-yard punt in the preseason. Many even called him the 'Punt God.' Although fans were just learning his name, he was already well known to the San Diego Police department.

 

Once the allegations came to light, the Buffalo Bills cut the punter. He was replaced by former Denver Broncos punter Sam Martin.

In college, Araiza played three seasons for San Diego State. He punted and kicked for the team. In three years, he missed just one kick, going 96 from 97. Meanwhile, his punting tenure with the team began in his second season. He only punted five times, but it was the beginning of the road that led to his brief NFL career. In his final year of college, he punted 79 times, averaging 51.2 yards per punt.

Araiza is currently without a job and his future is the subject of much speculation. We will see what the future holds for Matt Araiza as further information becomes available and the situation unfolds.

Yes, I am on record as saying Bills season was over for cutting Punt God without due process and I stand by that. Notice how the title says "COULD" which is why you wait to make these decisions. I am also on record as saying that if he is actually guilty, then he should be cut. The curse has haunted us all season with all the injuries.

I can take the criticism but I believe in due process and when that is not followed, there are consequences. Players see that McDermott and Bean didn't stand behind punt god. It makes a difference.

I see you have never played a sport and never been part of a team, It explains a lot about how you think.

These are grown ass men who get paid tons of money and are professionals. This isn’t high school. They knew him for what? 2 months? And he was a punter. I’m sure when they heard about the shit he was embroiled with they said ‘what a dumbass’ and went about with their lives…..

Yep  -You have never played a competitive sport and have no idea how grown will react to this kind of situation.

Yeah I played sports all the way through high school. What sport did you play as a “grown man”? Are you a former professional athlete 🤣

Highly doubt the bills players are as fragile as you think. You might be. But they are not.

Give me a fucking break 😂

The mistake you are making here is equating high school players to grown men making a living playing football. This is their livelihood and how they support their families and loved ones so you can be dam sure that they take when the see their coach and GM not stand behind a player when they need it the most. The Punt God was not afforded due process and the players noticed and it has impacted the season. If was found guilty, fine, cut him then. Hugh mistake.

Why do you think Hyde got a 2nd opinion on his neck so he could go on IR? Why do you think Trey White Goalie Academy is not rushing back? You think Von Miller is going to play hurt for MeDermott and Bean?

YOUR FUCKING JOB DOES NOT HAVE TO OR NEED TO GRANT DUE PROCESS YOU MORON. MAYBE LOOK UP THE TERM DUE PROCESS BEFORE YOU GO AROUND SAYING IT. 

IF I WAS YOUR BOSS I WOULD FIRE YOU FOR BEING A DUMBASS! AND GUESS WHAT? I COULD! Hahaha DuE pRoCeSs

True but I was not arguing that what happened to Punt God was in some way against labor laws or the CBA. Players get cut all the time. My argument is the Coach and Gm didn't stick by The Punt God and without due process, it has had an impact on the other players on the team.

Football teams are bands of brothers. What McBean did to the Punt God has hurt the team.

You should be a writer for one of those god awful Hallmark movies. What fantasy world is this? Lol I can see it now…

”Hallmark presents…a new movie for the holiday season…a punter is framed for an alleged gang bang…and loses his job…but the team gathers around him and lifts him from the darkest depths and convinces their coach to give him a second chance…and he makes good when he makes a game changing punt in the Super Bowl…making everyone’s dreams come true…”

I have to agree with you about our former punter.  I don't think the Veterans on the Bills could care less about his status.  It's a business bottom line!
