NFL Team Official: Michael Sam Is ‘Not A Really Good Athlete’
ST. LOUIS (CBS St. Louis) — It could be a very long weekend for Michael Sam.
The openly gay football player from the University of Missouri is hoping an NFL team takes a chance and makes history by drafting him, but some experts believe he might end up being an undrafted free agent.
Scouts told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that they don’t see Sam’s game transitioning to the NFL.
“Most of his production was hustle stuff,” an NFC personnel official told the Journal Sentinel. “There’s production, but he’s short, he’s not a really good athlete and he doesn’t play good against the run.”
He continued: “He’s kind of a one-task pass rusher. Just run up the field. And they swallow him up and kind of push him around.”
One NFC personnel director stated that Sam doesn’t have a position in the league.
“He’s not a linebacker, and he’s really not a defensive end,” the personnel director told the Journal Sentinel. “I’d certainly take him to camp. You’ve got to admire how hard he plays.”
An AFC executive said Sam was “short and slow.” Sam stands at 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 262 pounds.
Despite the potential setbacks, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is hoping to see Sam succeed in the league.
“I want to see Michael Sam get an opportunity to play in the NFL,” Goodell told ESPN Thursday before the first round of the NFL Draft. “We like to say the NFL is the ultimate meritocracy. If you can play football, they want to see you play. The teams want you. The fans want you. And that’s ultimately what it’s all about.”
Goodell continued: “I have great respect for Michael, his courage, his decision to become public, and I’m optimistic that he’s going to get that opportunity, and hopefully he can play at this level.”
Sam, who was the SEC’s Defensive Player of the Year, will be the first openly active gay player in the league.

Why is it important? Michael Sam doesn't think so, and doesn't want you to think so. Michael Sam football player got drafted in the 7th round. That's the story.

Except he's not just an openly gay player, he's the first openly gay player which is what makes it a story. The hope is that the next one is just an openly gay player, but it will certainly take time.

It is only important to those who have an agenda and WANT to make it important.

He's a player, who happens to have a boyfriend.

And I'm not going to stop reminding everyone that every time you call him Michael Sam gay player, you are disrespecting his wishes.

No, I'd rather have you idiots just shut the **** up. I've not said a bad word about Sam beyond discussing his skill set, which is likely not at NFL level, yet I've been attacked by multiple dipshits in this thread.

Yep if he wasn't gay and everyone trying to treat him special, he probably doesn't get drafted.

Why can't you guys treat gays like autonomous adults with their own personalities?

I'm respecting the man as a man, and you guys want to insist he's a pet in the culture wars.

Let people live their lives by their own dictates.

Him being drafted and playing is important for the cultural significance of the milestone, regardless of what Michael Sam thinks.

Some things are bigger than an individual, but an individual becomes an avatar for the event. This is one of those times.

People worrying about Sam kissing his significant other or smushing cake in his face is precisely why it matters. Viewing it as noteworthy is why it needs to be seen and why it is important to discuss.
