Michael Sam -- I'm Not in the NFL ... Because I'm Gay

[Elias]

He said that to TMZ Sports at LAX airport. Thoughts? I'm happy he's out of the league. Not bc he's gay but bc he tried capitalizing on his sexuality with reality TV shows and what not. Not sure if he has the talent but comparjng college to NFL is not a good idea. Night and day in terms of the comp you face. He's had a chance with two organizations so that should speak for itself too.

I think I was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year last year ... so I don't think it had to do with talent."

He's borderline bottom roster talent. He causes a distraction to teams that he's just not worth. He brought this on himself by exploiting his sexuality. Tough

I think if you have the talent to play, teams will find a spot for you. His argument is he was the SEC Defensive player of the year? Well, Tebow was a heismann winner and he is out of the league, as were Troy Smith and Matt Leinart, and they are out of the league. The difference in college and pro ball is large regardless of what people think. Individual awards in college, though nice, mean nothing in the NFL
