This makes a lot of sense. You needed only look at his combine numbers to know that he was not NFL caliber material. He was very slow and his bench press was about what the average cornerback does. Thus, he was too small and weak to play D line and too slow to move to linebacker. The whole thing was clearly a publicity stunt.
I would add that the whole thing was attempted social engineering by the elites in an attempt to force the normalization of homosexuality onto the little people, who BTW rejected it wholly.
They will try again. Their resources are endless.
