I wonder how this will affect his draft stock.

 

Matt,  I would be surprised if this annoucement has a significant effect on Michael Sam's draft stock.  Being that there are 32 teams, which I consider a large number,  all it takes is one of those teams to select him based on what they believe his football value is.

 

If we were living in a time frame of 10 years ago or longer,  collusion amongst  the vast majority of NFL franchises could have been a realistic possibility to prevent Sam from being drafted close to the spot that reflects his football value.  In the current era,  there's absolutely no way I can envision wide spread collusion from NFL teams on this issue or any issue related to what's considered by many the LGBT Community.
