Wade Davis kept his secret from teammates until nine years after his NFL playing days were over.
"I never even thought about telling anyone I was gay," he says, speaking to PEOPLE as part of an exclusive portfolio of gay athletes in professional sports. "I never saw someone who was gay who looked like me, acted like me, who was accepted. It wasn't unimaginable that I wouldn't be accepted."

“But today it is incumbent on homosexuals to announce their sexual deviancy to the world.”
If you’re lined up across from this freak you would want to know; they aren’t allowed to donate blood for a reason, and he’s about to spray some all over you...
In 2000, Davis signed with the Tennessee Titans of the NFL as an undrafted free agent but was cut after the preseason. Davis made his professional debut in 2001 with the NFL Europe team Berlin Thunder and won the World Bowl IX title with the Thunder. After spending the 2001 preseason with the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, Davis again played the 2002 regular season in the NFL Europe with the Barcelona Dragons. Davis then participated in training camps and preseasons with the Tennessee Titans in 2002 and Washington Redskins in 2003 before retiring due to injury.
(emphasis added--in other words, he never played in the NFL...last I checked, no one said "NFL Europe" is a great league...)
Another gay story. Unexpected.
Wade Davis? NFL player? Never heard of him...
Davis was drafted by the Titans in 2000, and was cut during pre-season and never played in a single NFL game, he was not a player, he was a closet queer, a draftee, a wannabe, a never was. Who cares?
