I’m sure lurking DU’ers, etc. will call me a hater, but I do wonder if Sam would have been drafted at all sans the hype about him being gay? Sam had a fine college career, but his ability to play at the NFL level is questionable. He lacks size, speed, and according to some scouting reports, the strength and toughness to play DE or OLB. Deacon Jones, this guy ain’t.
At the end of the day, either a guy can play at the pro level, or he can’t. I’m just not sure Sam can.
Sam doesn’t have the tools to play in the NFL. Neither did I though a scout told me I might if I converted to strong safety. He was wrong, I wasn’t quite fast enough and I knew it. Now do I hate myself for saying that? No, it is reality.
The Rams want to move out of St Louis....I think the NFL basically went to them and told them if they wanted to get the move approved they’d better draft Sam.
He will be a target from day one. No offensive player will want to be known as the one who failed to block the queer.
