He may learn otherwise if he goes to Pittsburgh.

Is this guy really NFL caliber? Rook not even going to be drafted.

Eh. I've looked back at some articles before this story broke, and it seems like most so-called "experts" had him projected as an early/mid round pick (anywhere from 2nd through 4th round).

his relationship with his family remains complicated: when he visits home, he usually stays with friends.

Watch the media ignore this elephant in the room. Most homosexuals were molested by a trusted male figure as a child. BUT that does NOT support the "born this way" doctrine, so it must be ignored.

Amazing that it took 3 “journalists” to write this tripe.

Sam introduced himself to the world Sunday night as an N.F.L. prospect who just happens to be gay.

If he is not drafted #1 then the NFL is Homophobic.

A mid level man declares he is a victim...........to simply get press and more money.

if he is draftable pick him if not let him go.

personally I'd shun him, he has already proven himslef a distraction.
