Finally the NFL is about to get their fist openly gay player. This year Michael Sam from Missouri is going into the NFL draft. He is defenses end but can play line backer. As of right now his draft stock is really good. The NFL team Washington Redskins had the first African American QB. They take pride in beeing the first team. Just like how I take pride in my grades! What ever team drafts him will take pride in having a good player but most of all having the first openly gay player.
Being gay does and never did mean you could not play in the NFL. It was just looked at differently and look down upon because of the locker room situation. This is a big step for the NFL. Michael Sam is a role model for gay kids every where.
