The dude won the Cotton Bowl for Mizzou and he was co-defensive player of the year for the SEC. Him coming out is likely to make teams pay more attention to him and therefore improve his stock.If you think he's the only guy in the NFL who is gay, you're out of your mind.
Are you suggesting there are NFL teams that were not seriously scouting the University of fucking Missouri and/or Michael Sam before his announcement?Of course there are gay players in the NFL.
He will now be the "Jackie Robinson" of gay players. Disney is already writing a movie for this guys story.
This is why he had a sit down interview. Publicity. Michael Sam's name will always be etched in stone as being the 1st openly gay athlete in professional football. They will be talking about him 100 years from now whether he becomes a great player or not. SIT DOWN interviews are for nothing but self promotion. The talk of this draft will now be "which team is going to draft Michael Sam?"
Really, it's surprising no one has just lied about being gay yet just for all the perks.

Fuck if it's that easy I'm down. I wanna be rich.
Oh BTW...Sam just opened a new Twitter account less than an hour ago. Already has over 15,000 followers..But this wasn't for publicity...@MikeSamFootballI want to thank everybody for their support and encouragement,especially @espn,@nytimes and @nfl. I am proud to tell my story to the world!

I'm honestly ashamed to be a member of a website that includes bigots like you people.

I think you are a very high quality poster. Your expressed opinion that announcing he is homosexual has any chance of raising his draft stock is idiotic however.
Congratulations. Now he'll get to go to VIP events for free and become best friends with the President & First Lady and gain hundreds of thousands of Twitter/Facebook/Instagram followers.
Don't HATEKudos to him for having the guts to come forward and those who taunt/ridicule him don't have near the strength he does. Having said that, dude shoulda got his money first.

That isn't what I said. I said it was likely to make teams pay more attention to him. Right now he's slated as a 3rd/4th round pick, but this could cause teams to look more closely at him on the tape instead of concentrating on Ealy.

Self-promotion? He wanted to be the one to tell the media not someone else. It was going to come out sooner than later and he wanted to be the one to do it.
He'll be the first openly gay NFL player.Good luck to him and the adversity he'll face.
i dont think itl be that much adversity any more. If i said I hope my son doesnt turn out to be gay it would be offensive these days somehow.
I have very little doubt that being black and gay will lead so some very rough moments in public.
If the media gets a hold of one guy who gives him crap for being gay, than theyre done, and all endorsments they may have had are gone. Society gets more liberal every day at an insane rate.EDIT: infact thinking about it more, im sure he gets less crap now that he has come out. Nobody is going to even want to haze this guy because of the PR mess it could bring them. Any normal hazing will be hard to distinguish between bullying because he's gay.
you do realize that there are millions of idiot bigots in America, right? Most of them not worried about endorsements.
