    Default Re: Michael Sam is the first openly gay future NFL player.

    The previous SEC Defensive Players of the Year were drafted early. Just curious how many teams planned to change the position the player would play at. Sam is small for a Defensive Lineman. Is he fast enough to be a Linebacker? Anybody know his time in the 40?

    Those are legit concerns to even the most gay friendly team.

    He seems like a great person. I wish him well.

    Combines are in 2 weeks so all the measurables will be known then. He also played very well at the Senior Bowl.

    Bob Kraft went on record today stating that Michael Sam can play for the NE Patriots if he helps the team win. http://nesn.com/2014/02/robert-kraft...elps-team-win/

    Most folks I follow have him going mid to late second round.
    Will the gay thing affect his draft selection status?
    Nah. Owners and GM's live and die by crunching combine data.
    What's his time in the forty and how did he rank in standing broad jump. No one except non-football media cares who he sleeps with.

    Is he super also? I thought the use of the adjectives fierce and ferocious were a joking attempt to sound camp, but apparently that was dead serious commentary. I wish him luck. Hopefully it will encourage other gay athletes to come out of the closet.

    You here all the PC stuff from owners and GM's now, but who will pull the trigger in April? I'm hearing 4th round right now.

    Could be the best Center ever ejecting the ball instead of hiking it always having his hands free. QB's towel better be 2-ply.

    Thinking of who may not want to pick him up.

    Jets - I do not know if they want someone being a representative or being a face of anything after the whole Tebow experience. Might have been a couple of years ago, but the media has never let them forget that nightmare.

    Dolphins - After last years fiasco, probably be best not to bring Michael Sam into the mix even though Incognito is gone. And even though the Dolphins players (including former players Incognito and Martin) have stated their support for Michael - I do not think they would want bring another microscope into the way things happen in their locker room.

    Packers - yeah that would be tough to live down. On the same note, if he was to go into the majors for baseball....might want to stay away from the Pirates.

    Agree on the Jets. Media scrutiny alone would be too much.

    A much more important question: is he a bottom or a top...
