Quote: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.  
 

I don't know the word collusion, but agree with you on this. In the article I posted, Ian Rapoport said an anonymous team executive told him because there are many new, younger general managers now, NFL teams are not going to worry about it, but years ago they would have.
