Doesn't matter. Announcing he's gay guarantees him a slot on an NFL team. Failure to hire him means the NFL is homophobic.

I don't really follow football, just watch the odd game now and then, but from what I hear he is a lot better fit for college ball than pro ball due to size and weight parameters (No puns intended), so he may not be that great a catch for the pro team that gets him.  As also noted by commentators, it's likely the Commish will lean on someone to take him just to forestall any bad press.  I'm sure there will be lots of whining and probably a lawsuit about bullying and homophobia after he gets to whatever team does take him.  It'll probably sell a lot of football tickets to fags, though.

Outside of a few teams that are more into marketing then winning he is a damn if you do,damn if you don`t prospect.
Few will want a middle round quality rookie to be a media attraction yet,as said above,if a team is in need for a possible lineman or linebacker and they pass on him accusations will fly.

I believe he was the SEC co-defensive player of the year, but is kind of undersized for the NFL.  From the projections I've overheard, he would have been just a run-of-the-mill middle round draft pick.

Also heard that Moochelle made some statement supporting him today.  Some at ESPN & other places are comparing him to Jackie Robinson.  :whatever:

Oh the conflicting and ever shifting paradigms of change...  :thatsright:

Here is a representative sampling of the current Superbowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

(https://scontent-a-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/t1/1510757_626270650781572_990279322_n.jpg)

And this is ONLY a sampling. Of the 53-man active roster for the Seahawks, 21 were drafted after the 4th round or not at all.  Every coach and front office in the league is under pressure to try to emulate the success the Seattle franchise has had with players the other 31 teams turned their noses up at, as dross.

On the other end of the scale, we have this - alleged - poofter and the mediocre kicker that was let go last year holding the threat of "discriminates against gays"  :o labels over the heads of the entire league if the NFL doesn't draft him, draft him far earlier than his skills and performance on the field would warrant and ignore the fact that he's getting a hard-on bigger than Jerry Sandusky's in the damn locker room.

Add to this the fact that most of the kids that get drafted DO NOT wind up playing pro ball beyond that first preseason. So, if the Commish leans on somebody to burn a draft pick on Princess Poopypants, is that team on an express trip for a discrimination lawsuit when Sweet Cheeks' performance proves sub-par and he gets his ass cut from the team? Or, will the Commish then lean on the League refs to "go easy" on the rump ranger, in order to provide an unfair "field leveling" advantage to the team saddled with the poofter?

My how the slope gets slippery quickly when one gets engaged in the practice of identity politics...

How long before the NFL establishes an equivalent of the Rooney Rule for teams hiring gays?

Quote
The Rooney Rule requires National Football League teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operation jobs. It is sometimes cited as an example of affirmative action, though there is no quota or preference given to minorities in the hiring of candidates. It was established in 2003.

There isn't any "Alleged" about it, he came out of the closet to his college team-mates earlier, and now took this public himself. 

Personally I could give a shit less, like I say, I don't really follow pro ball.  I do get tired of people jabbering about how they're homos like it was some kind of achievement, though.

I used the term alleged, solely because all we have is his word that this is his preference.  I have no doubt that there are those out there who are not above claiming the ghey card just to attempt to win a preferential treatment they wouldn't otherwise receive. He may be one, and he may not.

This should prove to be interesting. When the drift comes around everyone may that someone else will pick him and by the time they realize no one is going to do it some coach will get a call from Roger Goodell informing him to draft the guy. Because of all the "I thought someone else would do it" attitudes the guy goes late and then then liberal/democratic crap starts up about the NFL being homophobic. Then if they guys just sucks horribly (pardon the pun) will the team that drafts him have the cajones to release him? If they do they'll be accused do doing so because he was gay and not giving him a chance. If the other teams don't pick up him up he sues for discrimination.

At any rate, I see nothing good coming from this unless the guy is just a star right out of the gate then no team will care if he is gay. All the NFL teams care about is winning

If ever there was a place for don't-ask-don't-tell, it's an athletic locker room.

This DUmbass thinks the notoriety will make him more money, and it may.

ESPN covers his story every ten minutes, 24 hours a day. He's the greatest athlete since Jim Thorpe, right? If he isn't offered millions, it's sheer bigotry, right?

Apparently his teammates at Missouri discovered he was queer, so he figured the cat was out of the bag.

He wasn't lucky enough to have created an imaginary girlfriend dying of leukemia.

Why would whether he was gay matter? Wouldn't it be based on how good of a player he is? Not choosing a great player because they're gay is as stupid as choosing a just mediocre play just because he is gay.

Breitbart (http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Sports/2014/02/10/Some-Cool-To-Sam) has an interesting story about this.  Kind what I expected.  A little snippet for those interested:

Quote
NFL DISCONNECT: CONFLICTING PUBLIC, PRIVATE REACTIONS TO GAY PLAYER

NFL prospect Michael Sam earned praise from the First Lady of the United States, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith for revealing his homosexuality. But as the All-American defensive end predicted to ESPN, “There will be negativity, negative reactions.”

Well Tank, how else can ya be a victim if ya don't tell the press? Me thinks he's tryin' to pad his pocket book. After all, there are numerous repercussions for a team that picks this guy up.

Which ever team picks him up as to be the "pioneers" or the "trail blazers" for a new era in pro football, I recommend they get that mediocre tackle from Miami who ran home, crying to his lawyer mommy about being "bullied".  That way they can have the best feel-good season ever.

No doubt there's already a minuscule number of homos already in the league, like the goofball with the imaginary girlfriend, but there's a difference between a quiet closeted homo and a outspoken flaming queer like this guy.

He could go to San Francisco . . . 'Course, they could also change the name of the team from the 49ers . . . to the 69ers . . . O-) :tongue:

Seriously, though, I saw somewhere on the Net, a few minutes ago, where John Elway said something to the effect that being gay wouldn't be a reason not to draft Sam.

If he were on the Steelers, the only reason that Mike Tomlin would want him there would be if he could make it easier for the Steelers to win.  That's it.  If he could help the Steelers win, then I, as a Steelers' fan, want him on the team.  Al Davis had it right--"Just win, baby!"

Whatever you say, don't say that the media wants a gay black to do well in the NFL.
There for a time the NAACP fought the minority status of gays because they didn't want to share their struggle with a minority of choice.
They seem to have backed off from that position in recent years.

There is a part of me that says this sudden "announcement" doesn't pass the smell test.

It's like they are trying version 2.0 of the "gay black athlete" meme.

First it was with the basketball player...that crashed and burned for many reasons namely he was a scrub player and his recently dumped girlfriend seemed very surprised at the announcement.

So this time they're going with the talented young College football player...and the left is hoping for better results.

But in both cases they picked the group least likely to out themselves as gay.  They look at themselves as straight people who just happen to have sex with men.

Something is not right about this feels like a staged event.

It is.  It's an attempt to force his draft status from 3rd round at best using liberal, PC fascism with the threat of queer mafia blackmail if they don't.  Not much different from what that sissy of an OT in Miami is trying to do with his "bullying" BS.
