Missouri DE Michael Sam admits to being gay
|
Quote:There's nothing wrong with being gay. It's not a choice. And if he can help us win football games, I want him on our team. There may be nothing wrong with being gay, but there is something wrong with his ability to play football. Emphasis is mine. Bucky Brooks: Sam's lack of position an issue Michael Sam is a terrific college player, but he's a man without a true position at the NFL level. Measuring 6-1, 260 pounds, Sam is undersized to play defensive end, yet he lacks the movement skills and agility to play outside linebacker. Thus, he will be viewed as a pass-rushing specialist, driving his stock down a bit on draft boards across the league. As far as Sam's sexuality, I don't believe it will significantly impact his draft status. Most scouts were aware of his sexuality through their background research, so the topic had probably been discussed before the announcement. Additionally, coaches and executives are well aware of a number of gay athletes in the NFL and it hasn't been a problem to date. If a player can make plays and help a team win games, the other stuff won't be a problem. Daniel Jeremiah: Jags could use Sam's pass-rushing skills Personally I don't think Sam is an ideal three-down player in either scheme. His best fit is as a designated pass rusher. He can contribute on passing downs for any team. One team that makes sense is Jacksonville, which is desperate for pass rushers, and Sam could be a nice value in the fourth or fifth round. This does not look like somebody I want. |
