Buffalo Bills first-round pick Maxwell Hairston faces a lawsuit regarding alleged sexual assault during his time at the University of Kentucky in 2021. The complaint states that Hairston engaged in non-consensual contact with a woman in her dorm room. Despite a police report filed by the woman, no criminal charges were pursued against Hairston. Following his selection as the 30th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Bills GM Brandon Beane confirmed that the team conducted a thorough investigation into the allegations, stating they found no supporting evidence for the claims.

Hairston recorded impressive stats during his three seasons at Kentucky, including 89 tackles and six interceptions. He recently attended team minicamp but sustained a hamstring injury, which the team expects will heal in time for the upcoming training camp. The allegations' fallout could impact his performance and the team's overall strategy as they prepare for the new season.
