Michael Sam became the first open NFL player having coming out earlier this year before the draft. There was a bunch of coverage regarding potential reactions from teams, NFL execs and players. Some noted that though Sam was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year, he would be a bit of a tweener if he actually made it to the league.
Sam was drafted in the seventh round to the St. Louis Rams and cut before the regular season. He then was picked up by the Dallas Cowboys, and signed to the practice squad. He was cut after seven weeks. In a recent interview with GQ Sam has revealed that he wishes he wouldn’t have come out the way that he did, as he feels it ultimately has worked against him on the gridiron.
Two of his brothers are in jail, and one has been missing for years.
On his time with the Cowboys:
‘In St. Louis, they welcomed me, but I felt they were just putting smiles on their faces. It was because they didn’t know my future. It was almost like the situation with a stray dog — you don’t want to get too close. In Dallas, they were more welcoming.’
